Recently had these at a small gathering and had to hunt down who made these. My one-year-old was eating it faster than I could put it on his plate! Another great option for an appetizer or dress it up with some rice and beans on the side and you have a full meal.

I have also thought about putting a buffalo chicken dip on the insides of these, I think it would be a great change of pace, for a bit more of a "kick!" Maybe someone will share their favorite buffalo chicken dip recipe with me and I can let you know how it turns out. Or, you could give it a try and let all of us here at Lake Life know what you think!

Easy Crockpot Meatballs

28 oz Fully Cooked Frozen Meatballs

3 T Brown Sugar

1/3 C Honey

1/2 C Ketchup

2 T Soy Sauce

3 cloves Garlic

  1. In a bowl, mix brown sugar, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, and garlic.
  2. Add to frozen meatballs, toss to mix.
  3. Cook on low in crock pot for 3-4 hours.

These are a staple for gatherings. Everyone always asks me for the recipe and they are so easy to make. I even sometimes make the sauce the night before to have that ready to throw on the meatballs the next day. Try to remember, if you can, to use a crock pot liner, makes clean up a breeze! These meatballs make a great appetizer or a meal.
