Crockpot BBQ Meatballs
I love to make meatballs in the slow cooker. It is such an easy dump and go meal. My house always smells amazing while the meatballs simmer.
The bbq sauce gives the meatballs such a delicious flavor and the onion really takes it to the next level. Even my kiddos that don’t care for onions, will eat these. They really are amazing.
Crockpot bbq meatballs make a great meal but they also are amazing for parties and game day. You can serve them as appetizers or party food and they always go over so well.

If you are in the market for something new, I really love my Ninja cooker. The nice thing about this is you can brown the meat in the same slow cooker for recipes that call for that.
It is so handy to just have the one pan to clean. It has become of my favorite kitchen appliances.
I also really like this crockpot as well. I use this all the time and it’s great.
My favorite feature is that you can lock the lid down. This is awesome for when you need to take the crockpot somewhere.
I often use the slow cooker to take dishes to potluck events and this feature is amazing! There are several others on sale here.
Another favorite is this programmable crock pot for when I am am not at home all day. I love coming home to a nice meal ready and waiting!
I also like to use crock pot liners to make clean up a breeze. These are worth every penny and save a ton of time.
Should I thaw meatballs before putting in crockpot?
This is not necessary! Just toss and go. No need to thaw the meatballs before placing in the crock pot.
How long do you cook already cooked meatballs in the crockpot?
Cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.

What to serve with crockpot bbq meatballs:
The ideas are endless with these frozen meatballs that make dinner time a breeze. They are delicious with rice for a really simple meal idea.
The sauce is amazing poured over the rice. Yum!
You can save even more time and learn how to freeze rice and you can make this meal even easier. I love to grab the rice from the freezer in the morning and when we come home it is all ready to enjoy.
It is much cheaper than those prepackaged servings of rice and so fast and quick. We do this all the time and it is the best time saver and great on the budget.
You can also make meatball subs with the BBQ Meatballs. This is great served with Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries. The kids really love when I make these.
Time Saving Tip:
This recipe like many calls for diced onions. Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop the onions.
If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver and you can get the veggies really fine if you have children that are picky.
I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.
This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.
Learn and how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen!

Can I use fresh made meatballs? No one in my house will touch frozen meatballs.
Carrie says
Yes. However, I would bake them prior to putting them in the crock pot so that they don’t fall apart. Thanks!
