Crockpot meatballs are simple, easy, and you don’t have to worry too much about it.
You can even make your own and then throw it in there. They’re great if you want to have homemade meatballs, but you don’t know if the meatballs you normally want to make work, or maybe you want a meatball that’s more tender.
Ingredients :
1 (32oz) jar of Grape Jelly
1 (12oz) bottle Chili Sauce or BBQ Sauce
1 package of Meatballs
Directions
Heat up the crock pot to a low temperature
Take the ingredients, put them in a container, mix them all together
Put them all into meatball shapes. Try to make as many as you can, because you don’t have to worry about crowding the container with this one
For this, you want to make sure that you do put them in the freezer 20 minutes beforehand once they’re rolled up. This will help them maintain their shape better when you put this in the slow cooker.
Add the BBQ sauce to the bottom of the slow cooker.
When ready, put them in the slow cooker after you’ve greased it with cooking spray.
Let them sit on low for about six hours, until they’re nice and tender
If you want to put cheese on top of this, in the last 20 minutes or so, you can also put them in there and then have gooey cheese over the top of this.

Can I freeze these meatballs after I’m done?
