3 quart (or larger) slow cooker

Ingredients

2 pounds frozen meatballs
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup beef broth
2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
1 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
freshly chopped parlsey, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a 3-quart or larger slow cooker and cook on high heat for 2 to 2.5 hours or low heat for 3 to 4 hours.
Reduce the slow cooker to warm and serve.
Sprinkle with chopped parley for a little color before serving (optional)

Notes

Chicken broth or water may be used instead of beef broth.
These meatballs are super flavorful. I was inspired by a meatloaf sauce but it also tastes like a classic burger condiment topping minus the pickles.
This would make awesome mini subs when topped with cheese.
You can use any meatballs that you like. I like the homestyle meatballs as it gives it a more meatloaf flavor.
These meatballs do not need to be defrosted before cooking, they go in frozen.
Depending on how much time you have, you can cook these on high or low.
