Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb frozen ground beef meatballs - I like Trader Joe's Italian Style Meatballs
  • 1 cups BBQ - I like Sweet Baby Rays
  • ¼ cup chipolte cremosa sauce
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 2 tsps minced garlic cloves
  • 3 tbsp tbspbrown sugar
  • 3 tbsp cup apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 cup water
  • Optional: garnish with green onions

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients except the meatbalss into a slow cooker and whisk together, reserving 1/2 cup of water. Add the frozen meatballs and toss in the sauce until coated.
  • Cook on low for 2 hours. Stir the meatballs, add the remaining 1/2 cup of water, and cook for one hour. If the sauce becomes too thick and sticks to the sides, add more water.
  • Once cooked, add salt and pepper or extra hot sauce if you'd like more spice
