Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 12 oz. bottle chili sauce (I use Heinz Chili Sauce) Do not use sriracha hot chili sauce or Thai sweet chili sauce.
- 1 ½ cups apple butter I use Musselman’s Apple Butter
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp. molasses
- ¼ tsp. ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (or allspice if you have it)
- 40 oz. frozen meatballs (these are precooked and frozen) two 20-ounce bags
Instructions
- Add the chili sauce, apple butter, maple syrup, molasses, ground cloves, and ground cinnamon to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
- Add frozen meatballs to the prepared sauce. Toss to coat.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 2.5-3 hours or LOW for 4-5 hours. Stirring occasionally so the meatballs won't burn on the edges. Serve as an appetizer or as an entrée over mashed potatoes or rice with roasted veggies.
