The school year is quickly approaching and I can hardly believe that it is time for the kiddos to head back to school! My boys start this Wednesday and I am finishing up last-minute details.

With the kids back in school I know that many of us will be searching for both easy and quick meals to get on the table without spending a lot of time in the kitchen. One of the ways that you can prepare a delicious meal that your entire family will love is to utilize your Slow Cooker. I use mine at least 2 times a week and it really is a life-saver. I thought that it would be fun to start a series here on the blog called “Saving Your Sanity With Your Slow Cooker”. The recipes that I will be sharing are ones that I prepare for my family on a regular basis so they have been tested and approved! You can my post of 10 Slow Cooker Pantry Essential items that I like to keep on hand HERE.

The first recipe that I will be sharing in the series is for Slow Cooker Meatball Subs. This recipe is not only great for a quick dinner, but also perfect for Football season when you are looking to feed a crowd. I like to stock my freezer up on Frozen Meatballs when they go on sale BOGO so that I can always have the ingredients for this recipe on-hand.

SLOW COOKER MEATBALL SUBS

1 bag of your favorite frozen meatballs

1 jar of your favorite Pasta Sauce

Grated Parmesan Cheese for Topping

Directions:

Place the Meatballs and jar of pasta sauce in your slow cooker. Cook on Low for around 4 hours. Serve on Hoagie Rolls and sprinkle the top with Parmesan Cheese. I like to serve with Broccoli or a Salad.

This recipe is SO easy yet SO delicious! Enjoy!!

This soup is always a hit whether you are cooking for a few people or a crowd! I love this recipe because you poach the chicken breasts right in the slow cooker so that they get full of flavor. This recipe also uses salsa in place of diced tomatoes which I love! Please let me know if you try this and what you think about it!

Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Ingredients:

3 large frozen chicken breasts

1 16 oz jar of your favorite salsa

1 large carton of chicken broth

1 15-oz can of corn

1 15oz. can of black beans

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

dash of salt/pepper

Directions:

Place the Chicken Breasts on the bottom of the slow cooker.

Add the chicken broth and jar of salsa. Make sure that the chicken breasts get covered with the liquid.

In a separate bowl, mix together the spices with the black beans and corn and place in the slow cooker.

Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture.

Cook on on low for 6-8 hours.

Take the poached chicken breasts and shred them throughout the soup mixture. Let continue cooking for another 30-45 minutes.

Serve and add your favorite toppings like sour cream, avocado, cheese, lime, cilantro, green onions, tortilla chips, etc….
