How to Make Meatball Sub Casserole in a Slow Cooker
Aunt Lou here.
We love meatball subs in this house. However, I wasn’t sure about the bread in this Crock Pot Meatball Sub Casserole when I saw it in from Gooseberry Patch’s 101 Cozy Casseroles. It is no secret that I am a picky eater and texture is a big thing to me. And I’m here to tell ya folks, it is deeelicious!
One of the great things about this recipe, besides the fact that it is absolutely delectable is that it is a cinch to throw together! Have a million things going on? You can make this. Have two kids hanging off of you? You can make this? Have no experience cooking, especially with a crock pot? You can make this!

Won’t the bread be soggy? I would think to do everything but that and then spoon them on the bread. Going to try this a little differently.
Hi Beckstr!
I was worried about that too when I made this, but followed the recipe to give it a shot. It was actually REALLY good. I am a really picky texture person when it comes to my food, so it was a pleasant surprise! Regardless of what way you decide to go, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

I tried something different instead of the yogurt I used sour cream and used French onion soup instead of water. It turned out great!!!
Oops sorry I used 1 can of French onion soup, sorry.
Hi Nancy!
Thanks for sharing with us! I am so glad you liked it as much as we did!
