Slow Cooker Chipotle-Barbecue Sauce Meatballs are easy to make, taste delicious, and are perfect for busy weeknights.
I always forget how crazy life can get during the school year. I have two little boys in school now, and along with that, there are many activities. This means that sometimes it can be hard to have a nice, home-cooked meal ready every night. Of course my family needs to eat, so it is important to me to have some easy weeknight meals that I can turn to when I am in a hurry.
One of my favorite kitchen tools is my slow cooker. It is so nice to be able to put some ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning or early afternoon and have a delicious meal in the evening. There are so many options, and it really makes dinner preparation much easier.
One of my favorite meals to cook in my slow cooker are these slow cooker chipotle-barbecue sauce meatballs. The chipotle-barbecue sauce is homemade and goes great with Cooked Perfect® Meatballs. I recently discovered Cooked Perfect meatballs at my local grocery store, and they are my go-to now for this type of recipe. They are made with select meats, real cheeses, and aromatic herbs and spices, and are then flame-broiled to sear in the flavor for a delicious tasting meatball. I use them for spaghetti and meatballs and many other recipes. You can Save $1 off of your purchase of Cooked Perfect products by downloading this coupon.

This slow cooker chipotle-barbecue meatballs recipe is simple to make. Just add all of the ingredients to your slow cooker, put them on medium heat, and let them cook for about 4 hours. Once cooked through, just remove them from the slow cooker and serve with rice or pasta. Slowly cook the chipotle-barbecue sauce along with the meatballs to create a very distinct flavor. It is sweet and slightly spicy and goes great with Cooked Perfect Angus Beef Meatballs.
