Ingredients:
- 1 bag (32-ounce) frozen fully cooked meatballs

- Drizzle the sauce over the meatballs, ensuring an even coat.
- For a gentle cook, set the slow cooker on low for 4-5 hours. If time is a factor, the high setting for 2-3 hours works perfectly.

- Serve these meaty delights with toothpicks for an easy grab-and-go appetizer. Alternatively, they pair wonderfully as a main dish with your chosen sides.
