Instead of grabbing a bag of frozen meatballs, follow this recipe for insanely easy slow cooker pork meatballs that are perfect for potlucks, entertaining and even dinner at home.
Mix together breadcrumbs and milk and set aside for 5 minutes
Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray
Gently mix all meatball ingredients in bowl until just evenly combined
Form meat mixture into rounds around the size of ping pong balls and place in single layer in slow cooker
Mix together sauce ingredients in separate bowl and then pour over meatballs
Cook on high 4-5 hours or low 7-8 hours
Notes
Meatballs cooked in the slow cooker will be tender and juicy instead of crispy
Ground pork produces a lot of grease, so if serving at a gathering you may want to transfer to a platter for better presentation
Prep ahead: prepare raw meatballs, place (not touching) on parchment-lined baking sheet in freezer, 1-2 hours before transferring to freezer bag or container
Store in freezer up to 3 months, thaw before cooking
Let cool completely then store in air tight containers in fridge up to 3 days
