Servings: 8
Equipment
- 1 slow cooker
Ingredients
- 64 oz chicken broth
- 1/2 onion diced
- 2-3 carrots sliced
- 1 cup pasta Barilla has this style, Pastina
- 1 bunch escarole
- 1 bag frozen meatballs if using these, skip below ingredients
With Homemade Meatballs
- 1 pkg Italian Sausage Johnsonville Mild
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan
- 1/2 c bread crumbs
Instructions
- First add chicken broth to your slow cooker.
- Chop your carrots into similarly sized pieces and dice onion, add to crockpot.
- Remove casing from sausages. Add sausage meat, egg, garlic, parmesan (optional), and bread crumbs into a bowl and mix well.
- Create small meatballs that are about teaspoon sized and cook the outsides until browned. Can do this in a pan, on a cookie sheet or put 1 meatball into each hole of your mini muffin pan (I do it this way) in the oven for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Add to slow cooker
- If using frozen meatballs just add those right out of the bag. Cook for approx 6-8 hrs. on low.
- About 15-20 min. before serving add pasta and chop about 10 pieces of escarole (I just use dark ends) into strips and add that too. Serve!
