Meatballs
- 32 oz frozen fully cooked meatballs
Sauce
- 1 cup Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce
- 1 cup peach preserves or jam
- Combine Ingredients: In a large skillet or saucepan, add the frozen meatballs, Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce, and peach preserves. Mix everything together gently to coat the meatballs evenly with the sauce.
- Cover and Cook: Place a lid on the skillet or saucepan to cover. Cook the mixture over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the meatballs to heat through thoroughly while the sauce becomes hot and bubbly.
- Serve: Once heated through, serve the meatballs warm directly from the pan. Alternatively, transfer them to a slow cooker set on the warm setting to keep them hot for serving at parties or gatherings.
Notes
- You can use any brand of barbecue sauce and peach preserves if Sweet Baby Ray’s is unavailable.
- Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent the sauce from sticking or burning at the bottom of the pan.
- To make the meatballs spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the mixture before cooking.
- These meatballs can be kept warm for an extended time in a slow cooker during parties.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure the meatballs and barbecue sauce are certified gluten-free.
