Party Appetizers are fun bites of flavor explosions. Those quick eats before your main dish and the reason we don't eat all day so we can enjoy all the delicious variety of foods upon us at our holiday gathering.
Party appies don't need to be difficult! In fact our meatball duo can be made ahead in the slow cooker and ready in an instant when your guests arrive.
Plus .. the house will smell so incredibly delicious as the air is filled with all meatball cooking glory.
If sweet is your thing, we have the answer! If savory and healthier is your thing, we've got that option too!
Sweet With a little heat! The perfect combination for any meatball party appetizer. Even better? These babies just simmer all day long in the slow cooker and get sexy with flavor!
