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! 🙂
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. 🙂 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. 🙂 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! 🙂
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. 🙂 Enjoy!
Izzy says
Heidi, thanks for your answer! This will be added to our Labor Day weekend menu!
