Are you ready for the big game? We sure are because we look forward to it all season long. We love putting out all of our favorite snack recipes to really make the day great.
One of the most requested recipes each year is Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Meatballs.
Everyone loves this recipe because it is so versatile. I love it because it’s not only easy but amazingly delicious. I just toss everything in the cooker & let it do its thing until people get hungry.
The cool part is that everyone likes it a little different. Some really pile them into a hoagie roll, others like to make a little rice bowl with some of these on top.
Then you have the big snackers that graze with the toothpicks all day long, grabbing one each & every time they pass by the cooker.

I always start with Cooked Perfect® Meatballs because they are so easy to prepare & are crafted with select meats, real cheeses & savory herbs.
They are flame-broiled to sear in the flavor, which makes it perfect for these type of recipes. You can find Cooked Perfect in your grocer’s freezer aisle. Look for great flavors like Italian Style, Homestyle & Chicken along with many others.
