I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Now that Christmas is behind us, it's time to start thinking about the new year. Today I want to share a quick and easy appetizer perfect for your New Years Ever get together. Whether you're hosting a party or going to one these Crock Pot Party Meatballs are a must.
Anytime I take these meatballs to a get together everyone loves them and they're always one of the first appetizers to be finished off. Store bought frozen meatballs, covered with a chili sauce, raspberry jam, and barbecue sauce are all you need to make these easy meatballs.
If you don't like traveling with a full crock pot, you can also thaw the meatballs, mix the sauce together and add everything to a large Ziplock bag and transport them that way. When you get to your destination just pour the whole bag of meatballs and sauce into the crock pot, set it on high and cook until heated through.
Once you make these meatballs, I guarantee you will love them just as much as my family does.
Yield: 64 Meatballs

These would be a great appetizer for New Years Eve or New Years Day get-together party during the Rose Bowl football game.
