  1. I use this recipe and and cook 6 lbs at a time. I also add shiracha hot sauce to give a sweet and spicy. people absolutely love them.

    1. I love the idea to add hot sauce! YUM 🙂

  2. Hi!
    I just put this in the crock pot. It didn’t look like there would be enough sauce, so I’m hoping it won’t burn my crock pot 🙂
    Also, since I’d like it to be ready for supper, can I put it on high and just cut the time in half? TIA!

    1. HIGH might cause the sauce to burn like you are concerned about.

  3. oh! and I didn’t have soy sauce, do you think A1 sauce would taste ok? I’m a little nervous about it changing the taste of the recipe, but I will let you know how it goes!

    1. A1 would really change the taste. I have never tried it with A1, so who, knows, it might just turn out great!

  5. This recipe sounds delish! I regularly make meatballs with chili sauce and cranberry sauce, which is always a huge hit! I think my peeps will enjoy this new recipe! And frozen meatballs work great. Thanks so much!
