How to Make Sloppy Joe Meatball Casserole in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Alright folks. I’m gonna toot my own horn for a minute. I had a brilliant idea the other day, and I mean brilliant. I made a new recipe by taking the basics of Cris’ Cheesy Stuffed Sloppy Joe Meatballs and my Crock Pot Sloppy Joe Tater Tot Casserole and combining them together. This is an incredibly easy recipe to prepare while giving you an incredibly filling comfort food for dinner. I highly recommend it and so does my family. It is straight up deliciousness. I hope you and your loved ones enjoy it as much as we do!
