Tender & Juicy Honey Buffalo Meatballs Simmered in an Amazing Sauce.

These fantastic Honey Buffalo Meatballs will start their cooking journey by baking for a few minutes in the oven before being finished on low temperature in the slow cooker, simmering in a sauce you’ll dream of…

This Carlsbag Cravings recipe is definitely something worth trying… If you like them more spicy, simply add more hot sauce to taste at the end of cooking so they can be more honey or more buffalo.
