If I made the meatballs from scarcth do I need to freeze them add them into the crock pot after I’ve already cooked them in the oven? Or do I put them in the crock pot uncooked??Thanks!
Hi 🙂 What recipe did you have a question about?? This one is for shredded chicken in the crockpot 🙂 I’d be happy to help you with the meatball question, but not sure what recipe you’re referring to. Thanks!
This sounds delicious and so easy! Just a question about the cooking time…at the top of the recipe section, it says that the cook time is 4 hours, but in the instructions it says to cook on high for 6 hours? Just wondering which is the correct time? Also, do you know how long it would take to cook on low? Thanks! 🙂
Hi! I think you’ve discovered a mistake in the recipe 🙂 I would cook on LOW for 6 hours. They are done when they shred easily. Enjoy!
