Saucy Meatball Hoagies

My children love meatballs so this recipe has been a huge hit with my family. Elnora



40 frozen meatballs, thawed (I usually put in frozen and plan on cooking longer)
26 oz. jar of pasta sauce
1 onion, chopped (I sprinkle in minced)
6 hoagie buns, split and toasted
6 slices Muenster cheese

Combine meatballs, pasta sauce and onion in a greased slow cooker. Cover and cook on low setting for 4-6 hours (approximately 2 hours longer if using frozen). Place meatballs in toasted hoagie buns and top with cheese. Broil to melt the cheese. Makes 6 sandwiches.

Easy Taco Soup

I love this crock-pot recipe because it requires no more work than using a can opener! Several of my children complain about the beans but we have this often anyway! Elnora



1 can (15 oz.) chili with beans and meat
1 can (15 oz.) whole kernel corn, with liquid
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes, with liquid
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
1 can (15 oz.) black beans, with liquid
1 1/2-3 Tablespoons dry taco seasoning mix

Combine all ingredients in a greased slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours. Makes 4-6 servings. Serve with grated cheddar cheese, sour cream and taco chips, if desired.

Fresh Fruit Trifle

I had no recipe for this but thought it would make a fun light dessert. It was quite tasty and at least it felt less fattening!--Elnora

Fresh strawberries, sliced
Fresh blueberries

Alternate layers and then spoon on some cream topping.
