Are you ready for the big game? Love tailgating?
My Slowcooker Cheesy Stuffed Meatballs are perfect to bring to the party. Just do the prep at home and then throw them in the slowcooker.
All the guests will be impressed and left wondering how you got that yummy, gooey cheese in there!
Tip: you can easily use mozzarella cheese in this recipe, but Monterey Jack has SO much more flavor and really stands up to the heartiness of the meatballs. If you’ve never tried it in place of mozzarella before, you should.
Then when you are done with the party clean up is easy with Viva® Vantage® Towels from Walmart. These towels have cool stretchy-strength fiber-packed sheets and scrubbing power for big messes.
They are also soft but strong like a cloth. My favorite feature is they resist ripping and tearing, even when wet.
These Cheesy Stuffed Meatballs were a huge hit at my party and cleanup was a snap with Viva® Vantage® Towels.
