Honey Garlic Crockpot Meatballs

Yesterday was the kind of day where I wanted something delicious but didn't want to slave over it so out comes the trusty crock pot. Pre-made meatballs like President's Choice, Jane's or Schneider's Meat Balls work great in the crock pot. They're already cooked so it's just a matter of heating them up and getting whatever sauce you're using to soak right through. So I put in a jar & a half of VH Honey Garlic Sauce and a box of 80+ Schneider's Meatballs and let them (as Emeril would say, )"Get Happy".
I opted for an easy warm and serve rice by Dainty and served them in a big bowl. The rice and the meatballs blended in that sauce were delectable and there are enough left for lunch today.

This dish also works great as an appetizer! Hunt through my archives for more Meatball recipes as well. I have several famous recipes listed here.

Cheers,

The Joy of Crockpot Meatballs

Crockpot meatballs get a lot of attention on my blog and my reports tell me people want to know:

-How to cook crockpot pre-cooked meatballs
-How long to cook meatballs in the crockpot
-What to mix with pre-cooked meatballs

I love cooking pre-cooked meatballs in a crock pot. They turn out great and are perfect as appetizers, in spaghetti or for a buffet or pot luck meal. I often cook it to serve over rice in various ways as well.

I make Tangy meatballs that are a favourite for many and include:
-2/3 jar Welch's Grape Jelly
-1 tsp dry mustard
-2 bottles Heinz Chili Sauce
-1 box Italian Meatballs (I like Schneider's Meat Balls or President's Choice (PC) Meat Balls)

or

Swedish Sweet & Sour Meatballs
-1 jar Sweet & Sour Sauce
-1 box Swedish Meatballs

Both these recipes are great for appetizers or for a meal serve on a bed of Basmati rice.

You can also use pre-cooked meatballs in your favourite Spaghetti sauce. The beauty of crockpot meatballs is that the longer they cook, the tastier they become and because they're pre-cooked, within a few hours they are ready to eat. Keep an eye so they don't become burnt but generally they're thawed within a few hours and get soft within about 4 when you cook at low temperature.
