Looking for a delicious recipe that won’t heat up your house this week? Give these slow cooker meatballs a try! These slow cooker meatballs are a family favourite around here! Everyone enjoys them! They’re really versatile. We like ours cooked in either BBQ Sauce or Sweet & Sour. I’m sure a tomato sauce would also be fantastic. I usually make a giant batch then divide them up into bags to freeze for later.
Slow Cooker Meatballs

Is it best to freeze the meatballs before using, or is that an option?
I will often make a batch of meatballs and cook some for that night and freeze the rest!
