Slow Cooker Meatball Subs

I love easy meals. Especially as it gets closer to the holidays, having some free time instead of cooking is nice.

These slow-cooker meatball subs have been one of my family's favorite recipes for years. It takes about 10 minutes to put in the crock pot and you easily have dinner.

I love the tangy sauce instead of a traditional marinara sauce. It's a dinner the whole family will love.

If you want to skip store-bought meatballs check out how I make my own freezer meatballs at home.

Start by putting about 8-10 gingersnaps in a crockpot. Then add 1/4 a cup vinegar. I use the fork to mash up the gingersnaps.

Add 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic salt and brown sugar. Then add 28 oz. of V8 juice and mix well.

Finally add meatballs, you can make your own or use store-bought. Allow to cook on high for about 3-4 hours. Then turn down to low for about 1 hour. Let cool for about 20 minutes. The V8 mixture should be thicker like a gravy now.

 

You can remove the meatballs and put them in a sub or hot dog bun. Then add a little spoonful of sauce on top of the meatballs and provolone cheese.

Skip the pizza delivery tonight and make these slow cooker meatball subs instead. With a few minutes in the morning you can have a delicious meal your whole family will love.
