Meatballs in the slow cooker are one of those set-it-and-forget-it recipes that make life easier, especially when you’re feeding a crowd. These Crock Pot Meatballs come out juicy and flavorful every time, simmering away in a rich sauce that soaks in all day.

Just dump everything in and let the slow cooker handle it. You can do it in the morning and let them cook all day, or even start them a few hours before. That’s the versatility of the crock pot. And it’ll keep them warm while you’re serving them too.

Helpful Tips

Use frozen meatballs to save time – You can absolutely use homemade, but frozen meatballs hold up great and make prep a breeze.
Stir the sauce – Even though everything goes into the Crock Pot together, give the sauce a quick stir to blend it evenly before cooking.
Keep them warm for serving – Once cooked, set your Crock Pot to warm so guests can serve themselves straight from it.
