Meatballs
- 1 pound frozen cooked meatballs
Sauce
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Prepare Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the buffalo wing sauce, honey, and unsalted butter. Stir well until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add to Crockpot: Place the frozen meatballs into the crockpot. Pour the buffalo honey sauce mixture over the meatballs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours or on high heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the meatballs are thoroughly heated and the sauce is bubbly.
- Serve: Once cooked, stir the meatballs to coat them again in the sauce before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or with rice or celery sticks for a full meal.
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier flavor, add extra buffalo sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- For a thicker sauce, cook on high for the last 30 minutes uncovered to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- These meatballs can be kept warm in the crockpot on low for up to 2 hours before serving without overcooking.
- Use gluten-free meatballs to make the dish gluten-free.
