Baileigh says
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!
Gliza says
HI! First thank you for this easy simple recipe. I’ll be using fresh made meatballs, how long would i have to cook that thoroughly? My daughters birthday is in 2 days your response would be so awesome ….
Nicole says
What size crock pot do you have ?
Heidi says
Hi Nicole ~ this recipe works great in 4 – 6 quart Crock Pots. Enjoy! đ
Paige says
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.
Heidi says
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. đ ENJOY!
Kimberly says
Thank you for sharing !
Elizabeth says
Thank you for sharing !
Jennifer says
are these freezable? and if so, would i freeze them right after i mix them or after heated up?
Lori says
how long do u cook it on low???
Heidi says
Hi Lori ~ if cooking on LOW, you can cook approx. 3 – 4 hours, or until hot. ENJOY!!
Karen says
Can you use the ranch dip packets instead of the dressing packets.
Heidi says
Hi Karen ~ yes… that will work just fine. đ ENJOY!
Ska says
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?!!
Heidi says
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! đ
Izzy says
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?
Heidi says
Hi Izzy ~ yes… you can definitely cut back on the ranch and bbq sauce if serving to kids that like a simpler flavor. đ Enjoy!
Izzy says
Heidi, thanks for your answer! This will be added to our Labor Day weekend menu!
Izzy (and my 12 little minions)
Natalie says

Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Natalie… ENJOY! đ
