Notes
Prep-Ahead Instructions:
Combine the sauce ingredients and store in the refrigerator until needed.
Directions for Storing:
Combine the sauce ingredients and store in the refrigerator until needed. For up to three to four days, store leftover meatballs in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Place the meatballs in an airtight container and freeze for up to three months. Prepare a large quantity in advance for a festive gathering. Reheat in a pot on the stove, put them back in a slow cooker, or reheat them in the microwave.
Recipe Advice
Mix it thoroughly. To achieve the desired flavor, make sure all of the sauce’s ingredients are well blended.
Go back a step. To save time, purchase premade meatballs rather than preparing your own.
Use your imagination. To spice it up, experiment with different jelly and sauce combos.
Include a kick. Add some cayenne pepper to this dish to make it spicy.
Maintain their heat. Once they are thoroughly heated, you can turn the Crockpot to the “warm” setting if you are serving at a potluck.
