Hamburger Meatballs with Ketchup Sauce -Slow Cooker Appetizer

The idea behind these Hamburger Meatballs with Ketchup Sauce is, they are for the gathering where burgers are -not- being served. This is a nice easy appy that starts with frozen meatballs and has a four ingredient sauce. The sauce is sweet and very similar to the topping some meatloaf recipes call for. And best of all, just toss it into a slow cooker (I used my Little Dipper Crock Pot) and let it heat up while you straighten up the house, or gather your team gear and get ready for the game. I say add a pizza and it's a party:@) The recipe below is specifically for the 2 Cup Little Dipper Crock Pot, you'd need to increase it as desired.

I had to chuckle, while on my bloggy break my son said the thing he missed the most were the different meatball recipes, here you go Jay:@) Football may be done for now, but March Madness is right around the corner and so is baseball season... Should be another fun year for the Phillies!
