This is a great recipe for the busy person, as it can be made in the slow cooker. If you use all pre-made frozen items, there is virtually no prep time. I prepared my own meatballs and used fresh onions and peppers, as it was cheaper for me. When frozen meatballs and vegetables go on sale, I will be using that.

Steps:
Put all into crock pot, cover and heat on low for at least 4 hours. If the sauce is not thick enough, remove the meat balls into a large bowl. Leave the lid off the crock, and turn it to high for 30 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Return the meatballs to the sauce, and stir well.
May serve on a platter with toothpicks inserted into each, and either spoon the sauce over, or serve in a bowl along side for dipping.
