CROCK POT STACKED ENCHILADAS

Tips:
- Prep the Meatballs in Advance: To save time, make the meatballs ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
- Use a Variety of Ground Meats: Feel free to mix and match different ground meats, such as beef, pork, turkey, or chicken, to create a unique flavor combination.
- Add Some Heat: If you like a little spice, add some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the meatball mixture.
- Don't Overcrowd the Slow Cooker: Make sure to leave enough space between the meatballs so they can cook evenly.
- Use a Low and Slow Cooking Method: Cooking the meatballs on low heat for a longer period of time will help them stay moist and tender.
- Add the Enchilada Sauce and Cheese Towards the End: This will prevent the sauce and cheese from burning.
- Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: Garnish the meatballs with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, or any other desired toppings.
