Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen meatballs for best results. Frozen meatballs can be cooked from frozen, but fresh meatballs will cook more evenly.
  • Brown the meatballs before adding them to the crock pot. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of sauces to flavor the meatballs. BBQ sauce, tomato sauce, and teriyaki sauce are all popular options.
  • Add vegetables to the crock pot along with the meatballs. This will help to bulk up the dish and make it more nutritious.
  • Cook the meatballs on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The longer the meatballs cook, the more tender they will become.
  • Serve the meatballs over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. They can also be served as an appetizer or party food.

Cooking barbecue meatballs in a crock pot is a great way to make a delicious and easy meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give crock pot barbecue meatballs a try.
