Tuesday night has become crockpot night in our house. Brandon is on duty and I (Angela) have meetings. So rather than having a super late supper that I have to rush to put together after my meetings, I turn to the crockpot.
I do believe we have found a favorite. At least if you ask Brandon. In fact I believe he even referred to this meal as a spiritual experience. It’s some seriously good stuff y’all! And keto friendly, if that’s your thing.
So without further adieu (because I had lengthy recipe blogs. If I came for the recipe, please just give me the recipe), I give you Slow Cooker Cheese Stuffed Meatballs.
