LOW CARB SLOW COOKER MEATBALLS
They are simple to make and great for a busy weeknight meal, just toss in the slow cooker before you head out for the day or of course for holidays, pot lucks and parties. With our low carb sweet and sour version you don’t have to miss out!
Our sweet and sour low carb slow cooker meatballs can be made with frozen pre-made meatballs or if you prefer the homemade. Just be careful with pre-made meatballs, check the label for carb content. The sauce is the same either way, and I have tried both and it is equally good.
It is just a preference on what you like for meatballs or have time for. In the past when I have made homemade meatballs, I double and even triple the batch, and then just freeze a portion of them for this recipe and others later on.
