FAQ

Can I use homemade meatballs instead of frozen?

Yes, you can. Simply swap in your favorite homemade meatballs and follow the same instructions. Keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size and type of meatball you use.

Can I make this recipe on the stovetop instead of a crockpot?

Absolutely! To do this, place the meatballs and sauce in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook until the meatballs are heated through and coated in the sauce, about 20 to 25 minutes.

How spicy are these meatballs?

They have a balanced kick. If you prefer more heat, add a little extra chili sauce or sprinkle in some red pepper flakes. On the other hand, if you want a milder version, use less sauce or mix in a little honey to tone down the spice.
