    If I doubled the recipe and still just used one 5-6 quart crockpot, how long would I need to cook the meatballs and sauce in it? Using this recipe to serve to a group of teachers for a meeting tonight! Thanks!

    Can you use a different bbq sauce or must this me that specific brand. I have the dbs yummers brand and I’m hesitant to try it without the right one.

      Hi Paige ~ you can definitely use a different BBQ Sauce… whatever you love will work just fine. I just REALLY love Sweet Baby Ray’s, but if you don’t have access to it in your stores, you can substitute with something else. 🙂 ENJOY!

    Hello!! Thanks for the recipes!! What would you suggest for a party of 30/40 would I double everything or would you suggest one pack of ranch?!!

    Reply
    • Heidi says

      September 8, 2015 at 8:29 pm

      Hi Ska ~ I’d either double or triple the recipe, depending on how many meatballs you think each guest might eat. It would probably work best to have 1 crock pot per batch. Hope that helps! 🙂

    I love these and want to serve to grandchildren who are used to “plain” lightly seasoned meals. If I cut the bbq sauce and ranch ingredients down to half, will this recipe still work?

    Reply
    • Heidi says

      August 23, 2015 at 9:54 pm

      Hi Izzy ~ yes… you can definitely cut back on the ranch and bbq sauce if serving to kids that like a simpler flavor. 🙂 Enjoy!
