Making the Appetizer

Add meatballs to slow cooker. You can make your own or keep it simple and use a large bag of frozen meatballs.

Mix the BBQ sauce ingredients. Once mixed, just pour over the meatballs.

Cook the ingredients on high for 2-3 hours to get the meatballs warmed through and the sauce will thicken a bit too. Stirring once an hour helps make sure that all the meatballs are sauced.

These meatballs aren’t just for game day. Enjoy these favorites throughout the year at Christmas, New Year’s Eve, or any get-together you are hosting.
