Yes, I know that the Big Game is over and so the need for game-worthy appetizers might not be so great today, but I decided that I had to share these appetizers anyway. I made these crock pot meatballs this weekend and didn’t want to wait until the next big game to share them with you guys.
I have tried a variety of meatball appetizers before, and these chipotle peach meatballs might have just had the best combination of flavors in any I’ve tested. And since they are prepared in the slow cooker, they are an easy appetizer to serve at a party – make them in the morning and they’re hot and ready to eat when your guests arrive.
- 1 (2 lb) bag frozen meatballs (home style, not Italian style)
- 1 (16 oz) jar BBQ sauce
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 (15-16 oz) can peaches, drained
- 1 (7 oz) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, separated
- Add onion, peaches and about half a can of chipotle peppers with adobo sauce to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. (Note: if you like your food extra spicy, then by all means use more of the chipotle peppers! I used the entire can for mine, and they were hot!)
- Place meatballs in slow cooker and pour BBQ sauce and chipotle sauce (from the blender) over the meatballs. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours.
- Serve with toothpicks for an easy appetizer, on slider rolls for something a little more fancy, or atop rice.

I just placed the ingredients in the crock pot and looking forward to a yummy result!
I went a bit overboard with the chipotles and when I tasted it after blending, it was a bit too spicy. Since I was out of peaches, and had a fresh pineapple, I figured I’d cut up some pieces and toss ’em in (about 1 cup), to offset the spiciness. It toned down the chipotle and now I’m anticipating the final taste – hurry, hurry! : )
Thanks for sharing!
This recipe sounds amazing, have never tried a meatball recipe with peaches and I love the ease of crockpot recipes.
Right here is the right website for everyone who wants to find out about this topic.
You understand so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I actually would want
to…HaHa). You certainly put a brand new spin on a subject
which has been discussed for many years. Great stuff, just wonderful!

What a data of un-ambiguity and preserveness of precious familiarity concerning unpredicted feelings.
I would be thrilled if I was going to someone’s home and I was greeted with these meatballs! Seeing I can’t wait to see if that will happen, I need to make these soon! Perfect comfort food to have especially fun if it is unexpected! So yummy, now I know what to do with that can of peaches!
These look delicious! I love how you incorporated peaches into this. Thanks for sharing.
This sounds fascinating! I love meatballs. I’m generally not a fan of chipotle but I’m thinking the peach probably offsets it nicely.
