#1,634: Gluten-free, Paleo Crockpot Meatballs

Well now this was an easy recipe, especially when you use frozen gluten-free meatballs!  Basically you just have to blend the sauce ingredients together, pour it over the frozen meatballs and let it cook for a few hours on high.  Personally I would definitely double (if not triple) the sauce recipe next time.  I only used 1 lb of frozen meatballs and the full sauce recipe and it just barely covered the meatballs in the crockpot.  If I would have used the 2 lbs of meatballs like this recipe calls for, it wouldn't have been nearly enough.  

2 lbs gluten-free meatballs 

1 can tomato sauce, no sugar added (I used organic crushed tomatoes)

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp backstrap molasses (I used just a little bit)

2 tbsp garlic powder

2 tbsp onion powder

1 tbsp cumin, optional 

1 tbsp cayenne pepper, optional (I omitted)

1 tbsp red pepper flakes, optional 

oregano, basil, fresh onions, etc (add as you'd like, to taste)

In crockpot bowl, mix tomato sauce, molasses, vinegar and powders. Add meatballs.

Cook for 2 hours on high or until sauce is cooked down to a sauce like consistency.

Add salt, pepper, and additional garlic/onion powder to taste.
