These Crockpot Enchilada Meatballs are a flavorful and easy-to-make slow cooker dish featuring tender meatballs simmered in a zesty enchilada sauce and taco seasoning, topped with melted fiesta cheese. Perfect as an appetizer or main course, they combine convenience with delicious Mexican-inspired flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 32 oz bag frozen homestyle meatballs

Sauce & Seasoning

  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 10 oz can red enchilada sauce

Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded fiesta cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Meatballs: Place the entire bag of frozen homestyle meatballs into the slow cooker making sure they are evenly distributed.
  2. Mix Sauce & Seasoning: In a medium bowl, combine the taco seasoning packet with the can of red enchilada sauce. Stir well to blend the flavors thoroughly.
  3. Coat Meatballs: Pour the enchilada sauce mixture over the meatballs in the slow cooker. Stir gently to ensure all meatballs are fully coated with the sauce and seasoning mix.
  4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for 4 hours. Stir occasionally during cooking to keep the sauce well distributed and prevent sticking.
  5. Add Cheese Topping: After 4 hours, sprinkle the shredded fiesta cheese evenly over the top of the meatballs. Replace the lid and let it sit for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Once the cheese is melted, serve the enchilada meatballs hot. They can be enjoyed on their own or with sides like rice, tortillas, or a salad.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add extra chili powder or a dash of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
  • Use a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese for a different flavor profile in the cheese topping.
  • Stirring occasionally during cooking helps the meatballs cook evenly and prevents sauce from sticking or burning.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or slow cooker.
