Tips:

  • Choose the right size slow cooker: A 3-6 quart slow cooker is ideal for this recipe. If you use a larger slow cooker, you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Brown the meatballs before cooking: This step is essential for developing flavor and preventing the meatballs from becoming dry. You can brown the meatballs in a skillet over medium heat, or in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for onions, celery, and carrots, but you can also add other vegetables, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers.
  • Use a good quality beer: The beer you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the meatballs. Choose a beer that you enjoy drinking, and make sure it's not too hoppy.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough space between the meatballs so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the meatballs on low for 6-8 hours: This will give the meatballs time to become tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Drunken meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be made ahead of time. With a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone.
