Crockpot BBQ Beer Meatballs

Oh my gosh you guys!!!  You are going to love this recipe!  And so are your friends and family!

These Crockpot BBQ Beer Meatballs recipe is an oldie but a goodie.  It is also a staple at my house whenever we have a potluck or gathering.  

Too busy to make this right away?! Pin it for later!  Pin this post to your favorite recipe board on Pinterest and it’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready.

You should have most of the ingredients needed for these meatballs in your kitchen and pantry already.  I like to keep a bag or two of frozen, cooked meatballs in my freezer so that whenever I am asked to bring a dish to a party I can whip this one up in no time.  

I have a large 7 quart slow cooker but this will totally fit in a 4 quart pot as well.

I like to finish these off by by skewering them, brushing with extra BBQ sauce and broiling them on low for 5-10 minutes in the oven. This is totally optional but is a great way to serve up these BBQ Beer Meatballs at your next appetizer party!

Quick and easy right?  And super delicious!  You could serve this over rice for a quick family meal and add it to your weekly meal planning as well.

Tips for making Crockpot Freezer Meals:

  • Use 1 gallon, large freezer bags.  Label bags with the date, recipe and cooking instructions.
  • Lay ingredients flat in the bag for easier storage in the freezer.
  • This 7-Quart Oval Crockpot is the only one that I use and has lasted for over ten years!
  • Defrost meals in the refrigerator or place frozen into the crockpot.  If the meal is defrosted, reduce the cooking time accordingly (subtract two hours for most crockpot meals).
  • Crockpot meals can easily be converted to Instant Pot recipes using this handy guide from Taste of Home – How to Convert Slow Cooker Recipes for the Instant Pot.
  • Store meals for up to three months in the freezer.
