Notes
Nutrition will vary based on BBQ sauce used.
If preparing meatballs ahead of time, store sauce and meatballs separately.
For reheating in CrockPot, if sauce thickens too much, thin with pineapple juice or chicken broth until desired consistency is reached.
These meatballs can be made into cocktail sized meatballs, adjust baking time accordingly.
