Description

Delicious slow cooker meatballs featuring a sweet and spicy honey buffalo sauce, perfect for gatherings or family dinners.


Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Frozen Meatballs (Beef, Turkey, or Homestyle)
  • 3/4 cup Franks RedHot Original Sauce (or your favorite buffalo sauce)
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1/2 cup Apricot Preserves
  • 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • Optional: Pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat
  • Sliced Green Onions
  • Fresh Cilantro
  • Blue Cheese or Ranch dressing (for dipping)


Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, honey, apricot preserves, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
  2. In a slow cooker, place the frozen meatballs and pour the glaze over them. Stir gently to coat all the meatballs.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 240 minutes or HIGH for 120-180 minutes.
  4. If you prefer a thicker sauce, uncover the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  5. Stir the meatballs again before serving and garnish with sliced green onions or fresh cilantro.

Notes

For spicier meatballs, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
