  1. Unable to find 28oz bag. So maybe poured half 5 lb bag in crockpot. Started at 2:44 but should be ok in 3 hrs. My crockpot cooks really hot. Going to serve with white rice, peaches and maybe some veges. Tried your BBQ pulled chicken yesterday. Sooooo good. If meatballs turn out I may just be all about crockpot meals everyday. On day 2 of crockpot meals.

    Can I make this with fresh meatballs?

    1. You sure can 🙂 Just want the cooking time and make sure you meatballs are cooked through.

  5. I volunteered to bring meatballs to a party. I was going g to make the traditional one with the grape jelly. These sound like a delicious alternative. Do you use dark or light brown sugar?

    1. I have actually used both, but prefer the light. Both kinds will taste fine though 🙂

    2. Thanks. I bought the Trader Joe’s meatballs today as you suggested. They are only 20 oz. So I bought 2 bags. Can’t wait to make them.
