Alright, this is the epitome of easy. I know some people are crockpot haters, but I am definitely a supporter. I fully embrace the laziness! Especially as I'm working full time, and the hubs is in school all day, sometimes the crockpot is our only chance at a homemade (hot) meal.
The key to a "Newlywed Dinner"? It's easy, inexpensive, and fools your husband into thinking your an amazing cook. (All you do is throw the ingredients in the pot and cook on low for 5 hours). Fool proof.
Ingredients:
1.25 lbs of meatballs
1 cup honey flavored bbq sauce
1/2 cup peach preserves (jam works too)
1/4 cup packed darn brown sugar (can also use light)
1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
Literally all you have to do is mix together the ingredients, add in the meatballs, and pour into the crockpot. Cook on low for 5 hours.
I threw some rice in the rice cooker and we paired it with some edamame. Done and done!
Side note: as I was making this dinner Braedon came over to "give me a hug". He looked at my shirt with terror and said, "Stef, don't move". Bad idea. I screamed my head off and jumped around the kitchen like an idiot! I was wearing this fuzzy sweater and was convinced a spider had made its new home!
Wanna know the sad part? This has happened before. My friend Micah, was the witness. Same look of terror, same overdramatic reaction. Turns out I just had chocolate on my face. (In my defense, all I saw was a brown glob out of the corner of my eye...I mean it could have been a spider)
