Everyone needs a quick and easy “go-to” party or potluck recipe, and this one is mine! It doesn’t matter how many of these little sweet & sour crockpot meatballs I make or how few people I am serving them to, by the end of the party the crockpot is always empty.
The best part is that they couldn’t be easier–just make sure you give them enough time to heat up completely! This recipe is the perfect amount to fill up my 6 quart slow cooker—if your crockpot is smaller you will have to adjust accordingly.
