Crock pot / Slow cooker recipes

I feel like there needs to be a cooking competition show but you can only use crock pots.  We would kill it!

Are you serving those meatballs over pasta/noodles?

I haven’t. We only make them as party food/snacks

How many ounces of meatballs are you using?  I might need to pickup another bag.   

Trying this out this afternoon for the purposes of it being a party snack like you said.

No worries.  I didn't count.  The bag I picked up was 26 oz.  Someone else linked a 32 oz. bag.  Doubt it matters.  The recipe online says it's flexible.     It sure looks like something in the crock pot.

The jelly will melt in lol

I think I posted it here before but I’m not sure. I stir the jelly n chili sauce together in a pot on the stove until the jelly is melted in then add to crock with meatballs. Not sure it matters

Thx for sharing. Giving this a shot today for football Sunday.

Will report back

Big hit with family & friends yesterday for a football Sunday - every last meatball gone.

Might be the easiest thing to make ever.

 

Kids loved them.

 

Thanks again for sharing.

For those that need it

32 oz jar grape jelly

2 normal size jars of chili sauce

Big bag of frozen mini meatballs

2-3 hours on low 

try it if you haven’t yet

 

Something like this is what you use for chili sauce? https://www.heinz.com/product/00013000001120

I do something similar but quarter an onion and add it.  The onion falls apart as you stir and tastes great.

When I use the slow cooker it normally comes out a bit bland.  It’s difficult to get the seasoning and flavor right.  I made slow cooker pulled chicken this weekend and it was the best I’ve made to date.  I’m not going to say it was amazing but I will say I liked it better than anything else I’ve done in the slow cooker so far.  Here is what I did…

6 boneless chicken breasts (approx. 4.5 lbs.)

Trim the fat off the breasts and sprinkle Season All on them

Add to slow cooker:  ¾ cup of water + ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar + few drops of Worcestershire + few drops of extra virgin olive oil + chicken and cook on low approximately 7-8 hours

After cooking I shredded the chicken with 2 forks and left it in the liquid it was cooked in.  Then I added a full bottle of Woodstock Organic Hickory BBQ sauce.  If I did it again I would probably use a little less water (probably ½ cup).

Normally when I make pulled pork or pulled chicken I drain the liquid it was cooked in before I shred it.  This time I left it in the liquid.  This obviously made it a lot wetter, but I feel like that added to the overall flavor.  Also, with the extra liquid, even though I added a lot of BBQ sauce, the BBQ it didn’t overpower the flavor.  I don’t know exactly what made it better this time, I just know I liked it a lot.

Made this today and it came out great.

Have't read through the thread to see if this was mentioned ... but a lot of people do the "Grape Jelly Meatballs" with grape jelly and yellow mustard. Unsure on quantities ... but those two ingredients combine to create something a lot like barbecue sauce with a flavor profile that shades towards vinegar.
