  1. I just want you to know I am Crockpot obsessed right now! Hawaiian BBQ already on for tonight but I cant wait to try this one tomorrow. Thank You!!

  2. Yum! I wonder how these would taste in a Meatball sandwich?

  3. ANOTHER fabulous recipe from Chef Corey & Co.! 😉

    This sounds amazing. Def going to try it out.

  4. Oooh.. ever try this with vegetarian meatballs? Hmm….

  5. What if I use thawed homemade meatballs is the cook time the same as opposed to being frozen?

    1. Yes, I would shorten it just a bit…maybe 3.5-4 hours on low. You don’t want the meatballs to dry out. Hope that helps!

  6. I can’t wait to try this… How’s the kick with the jalapenos? I’ve got a wuss, a picky 4 year old, and a 2 year old… Not a very spicy friendly household!

    1. There is a little kick to them, so I would leave those out and maybe add some extra green onions. I hope you love them 🙂 XO

      1. Made these today using Seville orange marmalade (didn’t know there was a difference until everything was in the pot), they took that bitter Seville flavor, though I did add some sugar. None the less picky for year old and toddler went back for more!

        I wonder how this would do with pineapple chunks and bell peppers. Shishkabobs here we come!

        1. Great idea for the kabobs! Sounds like a plan 🙂

  7. Hi Corey,

    What sides did you serve with this one? We love meat balls but I always struggle withe sides.

    1. I have done a crunchy Asian Pasta Salad or a potato salad. I think any pasta salad would go great with these. Hope that helps 🙂

  8. what kind of meatballs to buy? brand?

    1. I have used so many different brands. Whatever your favorite is will work just fine 🙂

  9. OMMY NOMMY NOMMY! I loved these. I could have eaten them all! I had them by themselves, I had them stuffed in between Hawaiian Rolls as a little mini sammich, and I had them over rice. I would prefer it over rice because it’s more like a meal, but there wasn’t enough sauce so it was just plain rice and didn’t taste good like that. Man, would I love it if the recipe was updated to be saucier! 😉 Should I just double it? I really want to try your other crockpot meatball recipe now but I’m too scared because I don’t want to run into the not-enough-sauce problem again. Hmmm…!

    1. I was just wondering how saucy they’d be, wonder if I double everything but the meat…hmmm
