Slow Cooker Honey BBQ Meatballs

Recently, I was given a box of Moore’s marinades. Since I absolutely LOVE trying new products, I was eager to test them out. The first flavor that I knew I had to try was their Honey BBQ Wing Sauce. The sauce was spicy and sweet, smoky and tangy- adding the perfect balance of a spicy kick and a sweet stickiness to these meatballs. The sauce is made with real honey and molasses; and is gluten free, has no MSG, and is kosher. With a medium heat level, no wonder Moore’s Marinades calls this sauce their “fan favorite”.

Over the weekend, my hubby and I put together these meatballs, let them simmer in the slow cooker for a few hours, and then served them over rice. The flavor was amazing and the meal was a definite success. If you prefer, you could also serve these meatballs by themselves, in sandwich form, or over pasta!!

If you love different sauces, Moore’s Marinades is a must try! They offer Moore’s Original Marinade, Teriyaki, Asian Teriyaki, Honey BBQ, Buffalo Wing, Creamy Ranch Buffalo Wing, and Blue Cheese Buffalo Sauce.
