Slow Cooker (Crockpot) Sizes

The size of your crockpot can affect the outcome of your meal. If your crockpot is smaller than what we recommend, you may need to cook your meal a little longer. If it’s larger than what we recommend you may need to shorten the cooking time. You will need to keep a close eye on the chicken as it cooks. Here are the crockpot sizes we recommend for each meal size to help cook your meals just right:

Smaller Portion (SP) - 3-Quart Crockpot
Regular Portion (RP) - 4-Quart Crockpot
Bigger Portion (BP) - 6-Quart Crockpot

Pressure Cooker (InstantPot) Cooking Instructions

Though Beehive Meals are primarily designed to be cooked within a slow cooker (Crockpot), many of our meals can be cooked in a Pressure Cooker (InstantPot). Please reference our Pressure Cooker Instructions in the helpful links below.

Serving Suggestions

Serve family-style by pouring the sauce and meatballs over spaghetti noodles then toss gently to mix together. Scoop your desired serving onto a plate or bowl, garnish with parmesan cheese, and serve warm. To complement your dish, the first bread that comes to mind is usually garlic bread (which will always be a family favorite!) but we suggest keeping it simple. Simple breads will complement the rich spaghetti sauce perfectly because they won’t overpower the bold flavor of the sauce. Then add a caesar salad with romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing to add balance to the meal.
