Important Recipe Notes

You can use frozen, fully cooked meatballs straight from the freezer. There is no need to thaw them first.
Use your favorite barbecue sauce. Sweet Baby Ray’s is a great option if you like a sweet and tangy flavor.
Start with 2 cups of barbecue sauce and add up to ½ cup more if you prefer your meatballs extra saucy.
Cook on HIGH for about 2 hours, or until the meatballs are heated through. Cooking time may vary depending on your crockpot and the size of the meatballs.
Give the meatballs a gentle stir during cooking so they are evenly coated with the sauce.
Switch the crockpot to WARM once the meatballs are fully heated to keep them ready for serving.
