If you’re doing this meatball recipe in high heat, how long would it cool for?
Hi Ashly,
I’d cook for 2 to 3 hours on high in slow cooker. -Amy
Hi Amy, I was wondering if I could take the same idea and make a chicken parmesan? With frozen chicken? Would it have to cook longer? Thanks!
What kind of bag was that that was in the slow cooker-just a plastic bag or a oven bake bag?
Hi Sharlene. I like to toast the buns in the oven on a cookiebefore you build the sandwich, maybe with a little butter and pinch of garlic salt on them. Then after you put the meatballs, sauce and cheese on you can stick them if for just a couple minutes to melt the cheese. if you foil line the baking sheet is saves on cleanup. Hope that helps! My kiddos love these!
Do you toast the buns before adding the meat balls
Hi Carol. I am in love with Slow Cooker liners. Reynolds makes them. You’ll find them in the aisle of your grocery store near the foil and plastic wrap. They make cleanup a breeze! Thanks! -Amy
Question: I saw you make these on Monday but missed what “plastic bag”
you put in the crock pot first. It looked like a good way to contain the
cooking “mess”. What was it?
