Slow Cooker BBQ Meatballs Recipe

Slow Cooker BBQ Meatball Recipe

Game day for Super Bowl Sunday is quickly approaching and I wanted to share a recipe that is quick and easy as well as delicious! Slow Cooker BBQ Meatball Recipe. These meatballs are perfection....a real crowd pleaser and the recipe I'm sharing can be done 2 ways, just in case you do not have certain kitchen appliances on hand.

 In my family this is a 'semi-staple' at every get together because it is bite size and kids also really enjoy these. The reason I say 'semi-staple' is because we usually do not serve them at Christmas Dinner and Easter since there are so many other traditional dishes there; yet if it's a birthday, family game night, super bowl, playoffs, dinner party, baby shower, or bridal event these meatballs are always a great idea. It's an easy menu item for guests to handle and the flavor is a familiar BBQ taste that is sweet yet savory. Serve with sturdy two-prong toothpicks 'bamboo forks' to make it an amazing user friendly dish.

Oven Instructions

If you find yourself with no slow cooker/ crock pot in sight, like me one time, we couldn't find the ceramic insert...just the outer warming receptacle and glass lid. With a party in a few hours I had to make them in the oven.

Step 1:

Line your baking sheet with parchment or foil. Bake meatballs according to the instructions on your specific package of meatballs.

Step 2:

Warm up BBQ sauce and Grape Concord Jelly at medium heat on the stove top in a large, deep pot. Stir occasionally until it's simmering and silky smooth consistency.

Step 3:

Add cooked meatballs into sauce mixture and combine the two, coating the meatballs. Garnish with green onion and serve!

DONE.

This recipe can be adapted to any type of meat dish you want to warm up or cook in a crock pot. Make sure the meat is fully cooked if just warming up. Also this can be served as an appetizer or made into a main course simply be serving over some white rice with some veggies on the side.

Enjoy!
