Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Meatballs can be formed and sauce stirred together up to 4 hours in advance. Cover meatballs and sauce separately, and refrigerate until ready to add to slow cooker.
  • Tip 2
    While these meatballs are a perfect appetizer, leftover meatballs and sauce make a great topping for pasta.
