Monday Menu: Slow-Cooker Island Ribs

We are expecting sub-zero temps later this week, so something tropical seemed a good idea. And it’s a slow-cooker recipe, great for busy weeknight meals.

On the board tonight:

  1. Island Ribs
  2. Pineapple Pilaf
  3. Green Beans

Monday Menu: Meatball Subs

The meatballs and sauce can be prepared and frozen, in portions if you like, and used to make subs or serve over pasta.

A quick tip, cookie scoops make meatball production easier and quick.

This is a DOUBLE recipe that makes 8 to 10 subs, you can easily halve the ingredients or you can freeze extra meatballs and sauce for later.

Meatballs:

  • 2 lbs lean ground beef*
  • ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp crushed garlic
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp basil
