I've always used my slow cooker to make my life easier. Now with the economy the way it is, I find myself using it even more.
Unstead of having to have a serving size portion of meat for each person in my family, I make a stew, or soup with a fraction of the amount of meat I would normally. I get more veggies into my family and I save myself a fortune.
As an example. I like to buy my ground beef in large value packages. It helps me save money. I then take some time and divide up the beef into smaller packages, and make tons of meat balls and freeze them all on a parchement paper lined baking sheet. Once they are frozen, I drop them into large freezer bags to be used as needed.
On the days I know I'm going to be rushed to put supper on the table, I take out my slow cooker, drop in some meat balls, open up a can of spegetti sauce and cover the meat balls with it. I put my slow cooker on low, or 8 - 10 hours and when I come home I have the makings for the best meat balls subs.
My family thinks of this supper as a special treat. Guess the secret is out on just out easy it is to make.
I do have a special recipe I make my meat balls out of however. Keep reading.

Best Ever Hamburgers
**I use this to make my meat balls as well. They have so much flavour.
The measurements are not exact as you can customize to your taste preference.
Ground beef
1 egg
Italian bread crumbs – enough so the egg is absorbed
Onion soup mix – to taste
Salt
Pepper
Worcestershire sauce
Other ideas to include in the mix:
Grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh chopped parsley
Garlic powder
**If you’re making a large batch of hamburgers, I use 2 eggs. (Costco size package)
***If you do not have Italian bread crumbs, use the plain variety but toss in some Italian seasoning or other dried herb spices.
**** Start with less and add more if you like.
