    The nutrition info with this recipe, is that for the sauce only? And what is the serving size? I see that it makes 8 servings and I kind of extrapolated how many meatballs with sauce each 90 calorie serving would be but I’m counting calories so I’d really like to know for sure since these are delicious and I want to make them again and again and again 😁

    I used a 26 oz bag with approximately 26 meatballs in it, and made about 1 and 1/4 worth of the sauce since I was worried about it burning in my Crock Pot as well. They’re pretty fantastic.

    Wow! We loved this. We like things hot so I added 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes to the sauce and brought it to a boil on the stove, then turned down the heat and simmered for 15 minutes before putting everything in the crockpot. This was so good, and would make a great appetizer as well as on a meatball sandwich. I made homemade meatballs (baked them in the oven prior to putting them in the crockpot) as I already had 1 lb of hamburger defrosted. Thank you for the recipe. The blend of flavors was just absolutely delicious. I used Swerve Brown Sugar in place of the real sugar but you couldn’t tell it was artificial sugar. The flavors are top notch. My family thanks you!

    These were AMAZING! I made them yesterday for dinner. I doubled the sauce and served them with egg noodles. (My family doesn’t like rice. I do, but I’m outnumbered lol) Anyhow, I will definitely put this in my meal roatation, and use them as appetizers at parties. Thanks for the recipe!

    I was looking for a sauce recipe to add to a crock pot full of meatballs for my husband to take to his homebrewing beer meeting, and this was perfect. Three tiny tweaks: use 1/4 cup Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce for half the ketchup, a half teaspoon of ginger, and a big fat dash of Sriracha. Wow! Thank you for a delicious and easy recipe!

    Love it but needs more sauce next time I’m going to make a lot more sauce!
