Ingredients
- 32 oz package frozen pre-cooked meatballs homestyle, beef, turkey, or chicken
- 1 cup raspberry preserves I use the seedless variety
- 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 2 tsp dried minced onion
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- pinch of kosher salt and black pepper
Instructions
Prepare
- Add frozen meatballs to the insert of your slow cooker.
Cup of Yum
Add sauce
- Add the raspberry preserves, balsamic vinegar, honey, dried minced onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat.
Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3 - 4 hours, or on HIGH for about 1 - 2 hours. I do recommend cooking on low whenever possible. While meatballs are cooking, I like to stir them every so often to make sure the sauce isn't burning.
Serve
- Serve hot, garnished with minced fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- I've estimated this recipe will serve approximately 8 people, with each person getting about 4 oz of meatballs. However, please feel free to divide this recipe up into as many servings as you'd like.
- For larger gatherings, I definitely recommend doubling this recipe.
- Please note that all slow cookers cook a little differently, with some running hotter than others, so all cook times are approximate.
- This recipe was cooked and tested in a standard 6 quart slow cooker, and has not been tested in an electric pressure cooker.
