I love slow cooker meatballs because they work perfectly for appetizers, or you can easily make it a dinner.

These Slow Cooker Enchilada Meatballs are great for game day or a fun new way to change up Mexican night at the house.

Serve with some sour cream to dip them into, and on top my Cilantro Lime Rice. You can also serve them as an appetizer for a party.

How to make Slow Cooker Enchilada Meatballs:

Slow Cooker meals are so simple to make. Just put everything in the slow cooker and cook for a few hours.

For this recipe put everything in the slow cooker except the cheese.

Cook for 4 hours and then top with the cheese once they are done and you are close to serving them.

Allow the cheese to melt and serve over rice.

How to serve Slow Cooker Enchilada Meatballs:

This recipe is perfect for an appetizer or dinner. We serve it as an appetizer with toothpicks and my guests love them. I’ve also made them several times for dinner and served them over rice.

My favorite rice is this recipe, my Cilantro Lime Rice.

How to store any leftover Meatballs:

Store any leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should last in the fridge for about 5-7 days. Reheat in the microwave when you want to eat some of the leftovers.

Baked Chicken Fajitas: This one is my husbands all time favorite! I’ve been making him simple homemade fajitas for years and this one is hands down the best way to do it. 

Cheesy Ranch Chicken Enchiladas: This is my kid’s favorite way to have “enchiladas” because there is no actual enchilada sauce in it. It’s simple to make and full of ranch flavor! 

Chicken Enchilada Casserole: This one is so simple to make and so full of flavor. It’s like the classic chicken and rice casserole but with a bold enchilada flavor!
