Cooler weather calls for crockpot meals.  Warmer weather means grilling.  We’re kind of in a transition here, mixing warm sunny days in the upper 60s-70s with rain filling days in the 40s-50s.  On those warmer days all I want to do is BBQ and sit outside.  But when it’s rainy all I want is to eat a warm meal and cuddle on the couch.

So until it’s full on nice summery weather here I’ll be enjoying more crockpot recipes.

These meatballs were spot on in flavor, simple to throw together and ready when I got home.  I served with brown jasmine rice cooked in chicken broth and brussel sprouts on the side.

The meatballs kept their form really well during the 8 hours of slow cooking.  I imagine you could double the recipe and make a larger batch if you’re serving more than 4 people.
