Hello
Can I freeze this? Pull it out and thaw then crockpot it while working. Adding the sour cream at the end of that.
I don’t recommend freezing the sauce because the half-and-half will separate once thawed!
Hi, can I use ground turkey? Also,how would I cook already thawed meatballs? Thank you.
You sure can! If already thawed, they will probably only need to cook for 2-3 hours on low!
2nd time making this recipe. My kids loved it! Do you think it will burn if they cook on low for 6 hrs?
I don’t think they will burn, but they may dry out!
I just made these last night for a party. I doubled the batch and it’s still all easily fit into my large crock pot. They were absolutely delicious and everyone loved them. I will be making these again
I’m so glad you enjoyed them, Jennifer!!
