hmmmmmmmm
Can you cook these in a pot He stove etc, then put them in the crock pot?
You could do that but I would probably place the meatballs on a bake sheet and put them in the oven to cook then combine everything in the crock pot. That might make all of the meatballs easier to deal with rather than having to keep stirring them around.
Oh my goodness, I LOVE meatballs and grape jelly! Wish I could eat it right off the screen.
I don’t have a crock pot. How long would I cook them stove top? Which frozen meatballs do you recommend?
Sandy,
Any basic frozen meatball would work for the recipe. If you’re cooking it on the stove top, heat over a medium low setting and stir occasionally until hot and bubbly and it shouldn’t take more than an hour, maybe less. I hope this helps.
