Ingredients
Meatballs
- 32 oz frozen meatballs
BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Meatballs: Place the frozen meatballs evenly into the slow cooker, ensuring they are in a single layer to heat evenly during cooking.
- Make the BBQ Sauce: In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of BBQ sauce and 1 cup of brown sugar until the sugar is well incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
- Combine and Cook: Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the meatballs in the slow cooker, stirring gently to coat all meatballs with the sauce.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low heat for 5 hours or on high heat for 3 hours, until the meatballs are thoroughly heated through and tender.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the meatballs warm with some of the sauce spooned over the top. Ideal as an appetizer or party snack.
Notes
- For best flavor, use your favorite BBQ sauce variety (sweet, smoky, or spicy).
- You can substitute frozen meatballs with fresh or homemade meatballs, adjusting cooking times accordingly.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in a saucepan or microwave.
- For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- This recipe is easily scalable for smaller or larger gatherings.
