Hot appetizers don't come much easier than this recipe. It's so popular I usually double the recipe if I have a larger crock pot. You can vary the meats to suit your family's tastes, or increase the heat factor by using a spicier barbecue or spaghetti sauce. Serve with fancy party picks. —Andrea Chamberlain, Macedon, New York

What a great idea, adding the pepperoni added great flavor. My new game day favorite.

Why do people even bother to comment when they obviously can't bother with actually rating recipes. If they can't even understand how to do that, how can they possibly understand how to read a recipe? If you would bother to read the comment by the submitter you would see that she said to serve with fancy picks. You can also see the picks in the picture! Quit picking apart recipes for your own inadequacy.These are astounding. I would make them again anytime.

it astounds me at how difficult people try to make these recipes... this is absolutely straightforward! put all ingredients in the pot... and cook... and enjoy... if YOU want to tweak the sauce... go for it...but don't add any "anxious" thoughts... it's easy... and will go over great at any party or group... guys especially like the hearty appetizers... it's not "foo foo"... just easy..recognizable and fun!! enjoy!!

Please discard the review by Sweet_Carol - "The directions left out some steps, like wrapping meatball around the hot dog and slitting a little x in the pepperoni to put through the dog." There are no missing directions, she just misunderstood the photo. It's showing a meatball, pepperoni slice and a mini dog/sausage on a skewer, not a sausage piercing the pepperoni and embedded in the meatball.

The directions left out some steps, like wrapping meatball around the hot dog and slitting a little x in the pepperoni to put through the dog. Other than that looks good. I fugure have to be careful on how you get them out of the pan to keep it together. I have also seen a jar of grape jelly and a jar of Chili Sauce put together for a great sweedish meatball so could do that here as well I am sure. Sounds strange but was good.

This recipe was excellent. I used Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce. I served it as an appetizer at a birthday dinner directly from the Crockpot with a slotted spoon. I bought a package of small plastic forks and small paper plates and did not mess with the frilled toothpicks.

This is a great Idea for super bowl. I always make a crock pot of chili and one of soup. This will go in a third pot. I will have brown rice for the chili it will go well with this as well GREAT THANKS annexe3

I would suggest to take something else. This app will need to stay heated and take up space. I would suggest maybe crab filled endive leaves. You can make them at home, put them on a platter and pass at the table or pass before the meal. They are really very good and VERY easy to make.
