These appetizer meatballs are easy to make and sure to be a crowd pleaser, whether you go with one of our slow cooker recipes or pastry recipes.

Meatball Appetizers are a great party food and snack to enjoy. Using pre-cooked frozen meatballs available from most grocers will make preparing these a snap. Appetizer meatballs are often served in a crock-pot or slow cooker to stay warm, which is why we include slow cooker directions for most of these recipes. Alternatively, they can be baked and then served on a tray with toothpicks. We also included a few of our other favorites that are made with meatballs and refrigerated pastry dough.

If baking, coat meatballs in sauce and place in 9 x 13 baking pan and bake 8-10 minutes in a 350 degree oven or until meatballs are cooked through.
