If you don’t already know, I’m a rancher’s wife. That makes for a lot of beef in the freezer. There are lots of times, though, that I want something different, like pork! Eating jerk pork meatballs is kind-of-a special dinner in this household and boy are they tasty!
We use our slow cooker a ton during the winter time but always have the same ol’ meals. This is a nice change with a lot of flavor. Since I’ve got grown boys to feed, I usually double this recipe. Sometimes I have leftovers, which I have another recipe for!
Isn’t the slow cooker an awesome invention?! I love mine so much! Making freezer meals is something I want to do more in the next year to save time and money. I’ve spent a couple of 8+hour days with a close friend doing this and it was great!  These pork meatballs would freeze well too if you wanted to do that.
If you have leftovers, try the pork skewers!

- Scoop dollops of the mixture to form a meatball. Be mindful that the pepper is very hot so wash your hands directly after contact with the mixture!
