Can I Use Frozen Meatballs For This Recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen meatballs for this recipe to save time. Just add the frozen meatballs directly to the crockpot and cook them according to the recipe instructions. You may need to add a little extra cooking time to ensure they are heated through and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Can I Make The Sauce Less Sweet?
Absolutely! If you prefer a less sweet sauce, you can reduce the amount of sugar or honey in the recipe. You can also add a splash of soy sauce, rice vinegar, or lime juice to balance the sweetness with some acidity.
How Long Can I Keep The Meatballs On The “Warm” Setting?
Once the meatballs are fully cooked, you can keep them on the “Warm” setting in the crockpot for up to 2-3 hours. This makes them a great option for parties or gatherings, as they’ll stay warm and ready to serve without overcooking. Just stir them occasionally to keep the sauce well-mixed.
