Crockpot Meatball Subs

With this hero sandwich, I am the real hero. My kids love spaghetti. In fact, I believe they would eat it for dinner every night if I would allow it. For a change of pace mostly for the sake of my husband and I, I will use similar spaghetti ingredients in a different way. This recipe allows the meal to be ready when I am ready for it. In fact, I think the first time I ever used my broiler and broiler pan was for this recipe. I never knew who used the mysterious "broil" button on their stove until I figured out what a great function it is.

1 lb. ground beef
1 egg
1/3 C. bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. garlic
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 C. milk
1/4 C. beef stock
Jar of spaghetti sauce
Provolone cheese slice
Loaf of french bread, or a bread you like for sandwiches

In a bowl, beat egg, then add beef, bread crumbs, milk and seasoning. Form into small bite sized balls and place into crock pot. Cover the balls with beef stock and let cook on low for 4 - 6 hours. When the meat is fully cooked, cut bread, insert meat balls, cover with your preferred amount of sauce and cheese. Turn on broiler on low, then pop in for about 3 - 5 minutes, keeping an eye on them while broiling.
