Notes

Recipe Tips.

If you make your own meatballs, then be sure to brown them in a skillet before placing them in the crockpot.
If the sauce is too thick near the end, splash in a tablespoon of water and stir to loosen.
Want a little heat? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha to the sauce.
Serving ideas, set out with toothpicks for parties, or spoon over rice or noodles with steamed veggies

Prep ahead of time. Mix the sauce up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the fridge.

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days or in the freezer for 1-2 months. Be sure to pour the sauce from the crock pot in the container too. Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.
