Pin This RecipeThese Slow Cooker Whiskey Meatballs are crazy delicious! They are so easy to make and pack a ton of great flavor. They are perfect for tailgating, holiday parties, or even dinner. The best part about this recipe is that it only has 6 ingredients! Frozen meatballs, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and bourbon.
I used Maker’s Mark for the bourbon in this recipe. Any whiskey or bourbon will work great. If you like it, throw it in the crockpot! This recipe uses frozen meatballs. There are many different sizes of meatballs in the frozen food section. I used ½ ounce meatballs. I think they are the perfect bite-sized snack.
We made these for tailgating and then ate the leftovers for dinner. The meatballs are great served over some mashed potatoes or rice. If you serve these for dinner, don’t miss out on all the yummy sauce in the slow cooker. Make sure to pour the extra sauce over the meatballs when you serve them. The sauce is way too good to let go to waste. YUM!

It says “Whiskey Meatball Cupcake”. But it appears that the cupcake part has vanished. What dis you use for cupcake part? I love your cooking!
I don’t see where it says that – ?? There are no “cupcakes”. This is just meatballs.
Fabulous recipe. Get requests for your recipe every party – and before we held at least three large parties a year.
Just need to know by July 4 (short notice, I know) how many Costco meatballs a 6qt slow cooker will hold?
Thank you!
I am not familiar with Costco’s meatballs. I buy frozen meatballs at the grocery store and I could easily get 4 pounds in a 6-qt slow cooker. Maybe even 6 pounds.
Can you cook them on low for 4 hrs instead of high for 2 hrs.
Sure!
Just curios if you can substitute anything for the alcohol but still get a good, similar flavor?
I’ve made this numerous times for dinner, and it’s always delicious. Thank you so much for sharing!
