Who here loves MEATBALLS?
We do!! We first had these crockpot meatballs at a New Year’s party decades ago and now we make this sweet and spicy appetizer ALL of the time! The best part is that you literally dump everything in the crock pot and let it cook – only 5 minutes of work! Frozen meatballs keep it extra simple. We store a few bags in our freezer so we can make these anytime we decide to host a party, need something for a potluck, or just want some meatballs! If you like these crockpot meatballs, you’ll love Grape Jelly Meatballs, Sweet and Sour Meatballs, and Buffalo Chicken Meatballs.
