In reply to Bruce Bigelow. I would not- the sauce may be too runny.

If I add pineapple, should I also add the pineapple juice?

I have tested so many frozen meatballs. Who do you think makes the best beef or multi-meat meatballs?

We are making both meatballs and Lil smokies for game day and I toyed with the idea to mix them together instead of using 2 crackpots. It’s funny that I found your recipe! I would also HIGHLY recommend using a crackpot liner (if you are not already!)

In reply to Annie. If you mix it well before, you can go without mixing while it cooks.

Do i need to stir in between, or do I just set it and forget it…

In reply to WILLIS LYNN. I'm sure it would do just fine in the oven!

Hello,

I was wondering if this could be modified for cooking in the oven? Don’t have a big enough slow cooker.

Thanks in advance

I am a retired gentleman living on my own and I have been trying your recipes since buying my Slow Cooker in January. Mostly they have turned out well with some fantastic. I usually get 3 meals from 1 batch and I love the idea of freezing the amount I don’t initially eat for later.
My next challenge will be to bake a cake.
Please keep up the good work, thank you.
