Notes
- Easy Homemade Meatballs. Lightly brown homemade meatballs before adding to the crock pot.
- Make Ahead. These will keep in the slow cooker on the warm setting for several hours or can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator. To store, allow meatballs to cool, then transfer to an airtight container. They'll keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a medium pot over low heat.
- How many to make? When serving as an appetizer or hors d'oeuvre plan to make 3 per guest. If serving as part of the main entree then plan for 6-8 per guest.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 2-3 months.
