Tangy and sweet barbecue meatballs are a delicious appetizer to serve at parties. Cola provides the sweet, tangy flavor.</2>
One of my greatest college memories was watching the basketball team win the national championship in 1993!
It was an edge-of-your-seat win, the kind that had me yelling at the TV screen. And talk about a celebration afterwards as students poured onto the street to cheer our team’s big win.
I’m always hoping for a repeat.
You can’t watch college basketball’s big tournament without good food.
You’ll want to add these tangy slow cooker barbecue meatballs to your starting lineup.

The secret ingredient is Coke Zero, which is my drink of choice. You can use any cola or dark soda you like — diet or regular.
And when it comes to easy appetizers, they don’t get much simpler than this one.
No fancy culinary skills required. Just dump a bag of frozen meatballs, soda and the other ingredients in the slow cooker a few hours before game time, and you’re good to go.
Round out your b-ball party menu with a couple of six packs of Coke Zero, some OREO Cookies and REESE’S Minis.
