These slow cooker meatballs are raring to go for your Game Day spread
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}When meatballs are for dinner, we get excited. When meatballs are on the menu for a big game, we beeline straight to the serving platter to load up before everyone else gets to them.
"I am always looking to create recipes that will be super easy to make because even though a lot of people love to cook, they may not always have the time to," says Jessica Clark, recipe developer at Gluten-Free Supper. "My family loves meatballs, so I wanted to create a meatball recipe for the slow cooker so that you can essentially ‘dump and go’ so that you can still have dinner on the table on days that you know you will be busy,"

"I love this recipe for game days because it can not only be a full meal (especially if you add it to pasta) it is also the perfect appetizer or party snack," she adds, noting that you can easily serve these meatballs warm right out of the slow cooker with some toothpicks. Clark also points out that these meatballs also freeze exceptionally well, so if you have leftovers, you can just let them cool and pop them into a freezer-safe container or a gallon freezer bag. "Once you are ready to re-heat and eat, just pop them into the slow cooker again," she says. Get the full recipe below.
