These are the ultimate party meatballs. Make-ahead, freezer-friendly and so effortlessly made right in the crockpot! EASY!
I could not be more excited about Christmas. Not because of the the ugly Christmas sweaters. Or the presents. But because of this.
This glorious pot of slow cooked turkey meatballs, smothered in a heavenly cranberry BBQ maple sauce. You can serve this over rice and veggies, or simply as an hors d’oeuvre at your next holiday party with some fancy toothpicks.
The ingredient list is also super short if you decide to use pre-packaged frozen meatballs. I used homemade frozen meatballs I had previously made before, which becomes a real time-saver here.
But as always, you can use your favorite kind of meatballs because the true star is that BBQ sauce – it’s perfectly sweet, savory and smoky.
See, even the baby corgs can’t resist!
