Breakfast for Supper in the Crockpot!


We are going to have this tomorrow night for supper! I made it up tonight so I can just put it on in the morning on low and come home to a yummy supper!

"Breakfast" in the Crock Pot
1 Container of Egg Beaters
1 pkg (28oz) frozen hash browns
1 pkg Farmland Diced Ham
12 slices of American Cheese (mine were 50 calories a piece)
1/2 C. Hormel crumbled bacon

I added some fresh mushrooms to ours b/c we had them leftover. You can put onions, peppers or anything your family likes. Sorry about the pic, i had a piece of cheese cut up so thats why it looks like its missing one :)

Spray crock pot with cooking spray, layer starting with hash browns, meats and then cheese. (I made two layers of each) After done layering pour the egg beaters over everything. Put on low in crock pot for 6-8 hours or until done.

Meatball Sub-wich

Tonight I modified this version of a meatball sub! It was soooo good!

1 lb 93% ground beef
1/2 panko bread crumbs
1/2 C. egg beaters
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves of garlic, minced or pressed
1 T italian seasoning
1 T garlic powder
1 Bottle Bartilla garden vegetable pasta sauce
1/4 C. mozzarella cheese PER Sandwich
Village Hearth Light Italian Bread

Combine beef, bread crumbs, onion, seasonings, garlic and eggs. Mix well with hands and form mini meatballs. Spray a skillet with cooking spray and brown the meatballs on each side. Add the pasta sauce and turn to medium heat and let simmer for 15 min or until no longer pink inside.
Toast the bread under broiler on both sides. Set aside one piece of toast to top each sandwich. Place 3-4 meatballs on the remaining toast and sprinkle each with 1/4 C of cheese, place under broil until melted.

Calories per sandwich- 356 includes, 3-4 meatballs, cheese and two slices of bread.

Please be patient with the blog...

I had surgery last week and I am trying to stay off my feet for a while so the blog might be a little slow.  I am trying to still stay on track with my diet & eat healthy but my husband will be doing most of the cooking so....  Stay Tuned!!
