Slow Cooker Meatball Subs

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cooked Perfect® Meatballs. All opinions are 100% mine.

It’s summertime! That means temperatures are scorching here in Phoenix and I’ll do anything to avoid turning on the oven! With three active, growing boys though, we still need some hearty dinner options! So, these easy-to-make and delicious slow cooker meatball subs are the perfect solution! The beauty of this recipe is you just dump the ingredients in the slow cooker while you go about your fun, summer day (without heating up the whole house). It’s so easy to do and tastes SO good! I LOVE a dish like that – especially in the summer! And the Cooked Perfect® Meatballs really are crafted for summer fun! These tasty little meatballs are crafted using select meats, real cheeses, and savory herbs, then flame-broiled to sear in the flavor – making them SUPER delicious!! And you can find them in a variety of flavors including Italian Style, Gluten Free Italian Style, Homestyle, Angus Beef, Turkey, Swedish, Chicken, and Sweet Italian – perfect for any recipe you’d like to cook up.

Since the meatballs are already cooked and full of quality flavor, it’s a breeze to serve them up for dinner or for your summer parties! Cooking the meatballs up with some sauce & cheese in the slow cooker creates one SUPER delicious dish! I wish the smell could come through the screen right now! Don’t they look super tasty?! Everyone loves this dish at our house! You can even make a sort of “meatball sub” bar where you put out the rolls/buns, different cheeses, and the crock of meatballs, letting everyone create their own sandwich. The meatballs and sauce are good on their own. But, meatball subs are even better smothered in some cheese! So we put out mozzarella and parmesan as options (provolone would be great too). The end result is one seriously delicious sub sandwich!

Here’s the tasty recipe:
