These meatballs were so good. I also put them in a slow cooker on high for an hour rather than putting them in the oven. I was afraid they would be "ketchupy" but they were just delicious.

I liked it, but my husband did not.

RE: Appetizer Meatballs

I love this recipe and get many compliments on it. After browning meatballs in a skillet, I put them in a slow cooker with sauce and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours.

These meatballs are so good I make them whenever we have parties. It never seems to make enough as they are always gone very fast.

Yum! These are really tasty and made with staple ingredients. I've made them for many parties. Sometimes, instead of baking them with the sauce in the oven I just put them in the slow cooker on low for an hour or two before the party starts. That keeps them warm through the whole party and saves me from washing another dish (I usually transfer them to a slow cooker anyway).
