Notes
- You can mix up the sauce ingredients the night before and store them in a sealed container in the fridge. In the morning, dump your frozen meatballs in the slow cooker and pour over the prepared sauce.
- You can use homemade meatballs too, Just brown them first before adding them to the slow cooker.
- If you are around, give the meatballs a gentle stir every hour or so. This helps them cook evenly and prevents them from sticking to the sides.
- The sauce will thicken as it cooks, but if you want it thicker, leave the lid off for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
