Buffalo Ranch Meatballs are a Slam Dunk

M

March Madness is in the air which calls for a slam dunk appetizer! Y’all will be cheering for these easy, three-ingredient Buffalo Ranch Meatballs. It’s a sure-fire shot recipe with the spice enthusiast and a great way to get your wing fix without all the hassle. Dunk all the ingredients in the crockpot and let it go to work.

These meatballs have the perfect kick of spice and that buffalo ranch flavor we all love. You can also call a timeout on the napkins and lick sticky fingers. There’s no mess because all you need is a fork. Three ingredients plus a crockpot equal a winning recipe in my playbook! Whether you love March Madness or great appetizers, this is a recipe you will want to pin.

I love a good recipe using a bag of frozen meatballs. It doesn’t get any easier than pouring meatballs in a crockpot and adding your sauce spin to achieve the flavor profile you want. With a bag of home-style meatballs, the sky is the limit on the flavors you can create.

Easy Peasy Pleasy Tips

This recipe is beyond easy…

  • Mix the ranch seasoning with Buffalo sauce before pouring over meatballs.
  • I used a 2-quart connectable Crock-Pot. It does take slightly longer to cook the meatballs since it’s a smaller slow cooker.
  • Use a larger Crock-Pot and add a liner for faster cooking and easy cleanup.
