You’ll need to cook meatballs in the slow cooker on HIGH for 2 hours or LOW for 4 hours.  For example, if you’re hosting a game day get-together, be sure to start early.

Can You Overcook Meatballs in a Slow Cooker?

If you leave meatballs in the slow cooker for too long, they can become overcooked.  Just remember to check after 2 hours on HIGH of 4 hours on LOW, and you’ll be fine. 🙂

What sides go with BBQ Meatballs?

One thing that’s nice about bbq meatballs is how they can be served as an appetizer or a dinner.  Now, if you’re going to make bbq meatballs for dinner, you’ll want one or two sides to go along with them.  Some interesting side ideas include:

  • Cole Slaw
  • Mashed Potatoes

      Hi Vicky, you absolutely can use homemade meatballs. Just keep in mind this recipe uses frozen meatballs, so you may want to lessen the cook time to avoid the homemade meatballs getting overcooked. Hope this helps!
