🍽️ Made This Today for Dinner: Slow Cooker Meatballs & Coffee Ice Cream
🧆 Dinner: Slow Cooker Meatballs
Tonight’s dinner was warm, comforting, and super low-effort — perfect for a busy day. I tossed together some hearty slow cooker meatballs in a rich tomato sauce and let the crockpot do its thing.
What I Used:
-
1 bag frozen beef meatballs (about 2 lbs)
-
1 jar marinara sauce
-
1 can crushed tomatoes
-
Garlic powder, dried basil, a pinch of chili flakes
-
Served over spaghetti with a sprinkle of fresh Parmesan
How It Went:
Cooked on low for 5 hours — the meatballs were tender, and the sauce had that slow-cooked flavor without the work. Definitely making this again, maybe with homemade meatballs next time.
🍨 Dessert: Coffee Ice Cream (No-Churn!)
After dinner, we had homemade coffee ice cream, and it was the highlight. Creamy, bold, and not overly sweet.
Ingredients:
-
2 cups heavy whipping cream
-
1 can sweetened condensed milk
-
1 ½ tbsp instant espresso (dissolved)
-
1 tsp vanilla
Notes:
I folded the whipped cream into the coffee base and froze it for about 6 hours. Texture was amazing—like store-bought but even better. Thinking of adding chocolate chips next time!
Final Thoughts:
This was one of those dinners that felt effortless but tasted like I put in a ton of time. Comfort food win. ⭐
