Variations & Tips: Make It Your Own
While this recipe is fantastic as-is, there are plenty of ways to customize it to suit your taste:
Spice It Up
- Add more heat: If you like a bit of spice, consider adding some red pepper flakes or a few slices of jalapeño to the sauce for an extra kick.
Change the Meat
- Turkey or Chicken Meatballs: For a lighter version, you can substitute the beef meatballs with turkey or chicken meatballs. The flavor will be slightly different, but still delicious.
Add Vegetables
- Bulk it up: Toss in some sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions to the slow cooker for added flavor and nutrition. These vegetables will cook down and blend beautifully with the sauce.
