Even though I live in South Florida, this recent cold snap has inched its way into our neck of the woods. As soon as chilly weather shows up, I break out the slow cooker and start making some good old-fashioned comfort food. Two of my favorite eats are Italian food and great sandwiches! Put them together and you’ve got one of the most perfect dishes ever… Slow Cooker Meatball Subs!
