Homemade Meatballs

This is another recipe from my Mother-in-law.

 Ingredients:
2 lbs hamburger meat 
1 medium onion. 
2-4 cloves of garlic  
salt 
pepper 
1egg  
parsley   
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese 
1/2 cup bread crumbs. 

All ingredients are estimates as I just put it in I really don't measure so feel free to adjust amounts to taste. 

Sometimes I use celery and green pepper chopped up in it as well.

Mix well. Roll in 1.5 inch balls and place on baking sheet. 

Bake at 350 for 15-20. Make sure center of meatballs are over 160 degrees. 

Enjoy. :) 

Crockpot chicken taco soup

This recipe has many variations that I have seen from pinterest.
Chicken taco soup
1 onion diced
1 can chili beans
1 can black beans
1 can corn, drained
1 can tomato sauce
1 small can of chicken broth
2 cans of rotel
1 pkg of reduced sodium taco seasoning
1 pound of skinless boneless chicken tenders or breast
Toppings:
Shredded cheese - cheddar
Sour cream
Tortilla chips
Place chicken in crockpot. Add all other ingredients.
Put on low for 6-8 hours depending on crockpot.
When soup is finishing up use a fork and smash/shred chicken. It should fall apart fairly easily.
Serve in bowl with cheese and sour cream on top and scoop with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
