Today I’m sharing one of my favorite recipes that the kids love too. These kid friendly easy slow cooker meatballs take only about 10 min to prepare and then cook in the slow cooker. There’s a lot of cheese and breadcrumbs, so even kids that aren’t crazy about meat usually like them. You might see the ingredients and say “goodness that’s a lot of cheese & bread” and want to make them a bit healthier – that works too. Just cut the amounts in half for a “meatier” meat ball.
