Crockpot Tangy BBQ Meatballs Recipe

On those nights when you just don’t have time to cook, sticking stuff in the crockpot can be a life saver! These Crockpot Tangy BBQ Meatballs are delicious and so easy to make!

Crockpot Tangy BBQ Meatballs- title

Another crockpot favorite around our house is my Slow Cooker Apple Cider recipe!

Crockpot Tangy BBQ Meatballs are one of our family’s favorite meals. It’s a dish I know the kids will never complain about, and it’s so simple to make. I use my crockpot a lot during the school months. It’s an easy way for me to make sure we have a nice dinner in the evening, without having to work in the kitchen with kids around my feet!

I love this recipe because if you have extra time, you can make your own meatballs, but if you’re in a hurry you can use storebought meatballs. Most of the time I just use storebought meatballs because I’m always running short on time in the evenings. Crockpot meals make dinner less stressful, and when the recipes are this good, it’s a win/win!

What You Need

 Crockpot Tangy BBQ Meatballs

  • 3 lbs. Meatballs, frozen or homemade
  • 8 Hotdogs, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 16 oz. Tomato Sauce
  • ½ cup Barbeque Sauce
  • ½ cup Ketchup
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp. Mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tsp. Garlic
  • 1 tsp. Onion Powder




How to Make Crockpot Tangy BBQ Meatballs

In the crockpot mix together all the ingredients, except for the meatballs and hotdogs.

Add the meatballs and hotdogs and mix well.

Cook on high for 2-3 hours.

Enjoy these as an appetizer or a main dish for the holidays!

You can eat these by themselves, serve them over rice, or make delicious meatball subs! My kids like to eat these by themselves, so I often have some kind of side that has a vegetable so they’re getting a variety of foods from the food pyramid. We’ve also used these as an appetizer for holiday parties too. I just set a bowl of toothpicks out next to the crockpot and they disappear in no time!
