Appetizer Meatballs

Meatballs (I brought frozen meatballs from Costco, but this is a really good recipe if you want to make your own meatballs)

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 3/4 cup crushed croutons
• 1/4 cup chopped sweet onion
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 3 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp prepared yellow mustard
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp Cajun seasoning

Mix all ingredients together and roll into 1-inch balls. Bake in a 350F oven for 20 minutes or until desired doneness. I turn the meatballs halfway through baking. Drain off any grease and place cooked meatballs into crockpot.

Sauce

• 1 20oz bottle of Coke or beer (the original recipe calls for beer but I used Coke. It's really good either way and the alcohol cooks out)
• 20oz ketchup
• 1 pkg onion soup mix

Mix all ingredients together. Pour over meatballs in the crock and stir well, coating all meatballs with sauce. Cook in a low crockpot 4-6 hours until sauce is desired thickness.
