Mexican Meatballs

grocery list:

2lbs lean hamburger

1 can of enchilada sauce

1 can of tomato sauce

1 cup of shredded chedder or monteray jack cheese

In one bowl mix hamburger, onion,green chilies, and taco seasoning. Form hamburger mixture into medium sized balls and place into your crockpot. Then pour the enchilada sauce and tomato sauce over the meatballs. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 8 hours. Adjust cooking time according to the size of the meatballs. When they are done serve them alone or over rice and top with shredded cheese. You can also add black Beans and corn to the crock pot to make it a mexican stew.

Sounds good! I don't use the Crock Pot often but when I do I always wish I used it more. I tend to use it more in the winter when using the BBQ grill is out. I will give the Mexican Meatballs a try when I am on regular foods.

Thanks for sharing.

Speaking of meatballs........if you make the meatballs and cover them with mushroom Soup, that is out of this world too! My FIL makes them with the golden mushroom soup and that is wonderful as well!!!!

Meatballs are a really versatile dish that you can suit to your own family's likings. I LOVE meatballs!!!!

Another great meatball option is swedish meatballs made easy:

2 packets of brown gravy mix (the powder kind that you add 1 cup Water too)

3 cups water

sour cream

meatballs

1 can 4-6 oz mushrooms drained (optional)

make the brown gravy with 3 cups water to thin it out a bit, stir in sour cream to taste (I use 1/4 cup for 3 cups gravy) add mushrooms if desired

pour over pre-cooked meatballs simmer 5 mins.

I always served this with egg noodles, but I made it today and we had mashed potatos instead as noodles are not allowed for me yet.

This dish is yummy and simple, and you can use turkey meatballs and lowfat sourcream and it is super healthy. My family loves it. ~Mandy

My Mexican Meatballs are in the crockpot, I will let you know how my family liked them tonight, I'm serving them with refried beans and a ceasar salad.

The verdict is in, the family loved them, they enjoyed them with sour cream on top and the refired beans were an added touch. Yummy, it will nowbe in my monthly rotation of meals..Tomorrow night I'm trying the chicken casserole that was posted last week.
