Notes

Brown your meatballs first so they don't fall apart.
If you're using frozen meatballs, cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
Make this recipe healthier by using ground turkey instead of ground beef.
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days then reheat in the microwave, on the stovetop or in the crockpot.
Freeze the meatballs either cooked or uncooked for 3 months.
