Have you ever eaten Trader Joes Meatless Meatballs? Although I like making my own version of vegan crockpot meatballs, (Vegan Lentil Meatballs), I was in a hurry and in need of a quick appetizer to take to a party. I had to work all day, and we had to be at the party an hour after I was expected home, so I opted for the quick option.
Another alternative sold in many stores is Gardein Meatless Meatballs. Any meatless meatball you choose works perfectly with this quick and easy recipe.
My grandma used to say if we knew what was in her meatball recipe, no one would eat them. But, if you tasted them and knew how delicious they were, you would never imagine care what was in them. I’m sure that isn’t how I would feel today, but as a kid, what tasted good we ate.
This recipe is so simple and so easy to make, anyone can do it. I use my crock pot, and it takes all of 5 minutes, unless you are making your own vegan crockpot meatballs. Meat-eaters and vegan alike LOVE these little tangy veggie balls. So, if you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer to take anywhere to please all people, try this one. You won’t be disappointed.

I took these meatballs to a carnivore party, and I didn't tell anyone they were vegan. In fact, my husband and I sat back and watched as the entire crock pot disappearred. People asked me for the recipe. Vegans 1 Carnivores 0
