SLOW COOKER MEATBALL SOUP RECIPE

Not sure how cold it is where you live but here in Northern Nevada, the high temperatures have been in the 30s and low 40s.  Plus, we have a fair amount of snow and ice.  Our freeway has even been closed in areas and many, including me, have canceled travel plans due to the road conditions.  Better safe than sorry!

I also recently started a new Nursing job and I really enjoy coming home to dinner being ready, hot, and tasty.  I have made a variation of this soup for many years but using items that are ready to use is so nice--prep time is minimal.

SLOW COOKER MEATBALL SOUP

 

One bag (26 oz.) frozen Italian-seasoned meatballs

 

2 cans (14.5 oz.) cut green beans with liquid 

One can (15.5 oz.) dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

One can (15.5 oz.) pinto beans, drained and rinsed

One bag (1 lb.) baby carrots, rinsed 

One can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes

Italian Seasoning to taste (I don't measure it--sorry)

Salt and pepper to taste

**If you like a spicy kick to your dishes, add a 10 oz. can of Rotel Tomatoes and Green Chiles and/or a dash of Frank's Red Hot Sauce

Turn slow cooker to "high".  Add all of above ingredients into cooker and then add water just to cover ingredients.  Cook on "high" for 2.5 to 3 hours or on "low" for 7 to 8 hours.  I check the carrots to make sure they are cooked and able to be cut with a spoon.  Stir to combine all flavors.

Serve with corn bread, rolls or crackers.  Can also top with shredded Parmesan cheese after spooning into bowls.

 

Here's a shopping idea for a slow cooker if you are so inclined!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and happy eating!

FUNTASTIC FRIDAY 316 AND WINTERSCAPES

Hi there! Glad you could stop by and join in Funtastic Friday this week!  Hope your week is going well and all are healthy and well.

I have a thing for Snowmen right now (see my Featured pick below) and I did a quick re-do of my Winter Snowman Tray from a couple of weeks ago.  Check out the new Tray HERE.

Onto our Party!

 

ANOTHER WINTER SNOWMAN TRAY

This post contains Amazon Affiliates links.  You pay no more for the product by using our link but we are compensated by Amazon if you make a purchase!

 

If you saw our post from last week HERE, 

this is a different take on our Snowmen Centerpiece.  Same tray, same "snow" but different Snowmen, mostly.

 

Many of these Snowmen have been gifts or I have collected over the years.  You know how one day you just realize that you have an actual collection of something?  I realized that some years back. The 2 Snowpeople in the back are S&P shakers.

 

This little bespectacled guy is made from a dried gourd.  I purchased him at a craft fair one year.  Cute! So dashing in his hat, scarf and glasses.

 

Isn't this guy so adorable?  Another purchase from a local craft fair.  I love his scarf and gloves.  He used to hold a broom in his hand (you can see a small remnant in his hand) but my cat thought the broom was for him lol.  Darn cat!
