Notes
- Cooking Time: The cooking time might vary depending on the size of the meatballs and the crockpot.
- Always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
- Meatball Size: Keep the meatballs uniform in size to ensure even cooking. A small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon can be used for consistency.
- Sauce Absorption: Over time, the meatballs will absorb some of the buffalo sauce. If you prefer them saucier, consider adding extra sauce towards the end of the cooking time.
- Crockpot Size: This recipe is designed for a 6-quart Crockpot. If you're using a smaller crockpot, you may need to cook the meatballs in batches or reduce the recipe quantity to ensure they cook evenly.
