    This sounds so easy and delicious. Do you have to thaw the meatballs or can they be used frozen? Thanks

    1. I just used them frozen for this.

    These are in the crockpot as I write this. I added a bit of minced jalepeno for some kick.

    1. YUM! I love that idea of adding in a kick!

  3. Would love to try this as a dinner entree! With a 6 year old and 3 year old at the table, what sides would you recommend to make it a meal?

    1. Any yummy green veggie would rock! How about some green beans, sauted broccoli or a salad?
