Equipment

  • 1 slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 1-2 bag frozen meatballs frozen (I used 1 bag of 28 but could use 2 bags of small meatballs) Italian meatballs or turkey
  • 1 jar spaghetti sauce 15.5 oz at least, or bbq sauce, or half grape jelly and half chili sauce

Instructions

  • Pour frozen meatballs in slow cooker.
  • Pour jar of spaghetti sauce over the top so they're all coated. You could alternatively use 16 oz. of bbq sauce if you prefer.
  • Put lid on and set to low for 6 hours to get really tender, could push it to 8. If serving to a crowd, turn to warm after 8 max hours on low.
