"This came out of a crockpot cookbook many years ago and I have made it many time since. It is not hard to do. You can make the sauce listed below or sometimes I use my own sauce out of my stash in the freezer (then I don't use the crockpot but just bake the meatballs in the oven on a cookie sheet and continue from there. With the sauce listed, sometimes I do it in the crockpot and sometimes on top of the stove. I like to get a crusty submarine roll, spread it with butter, garlic salt, and parsley and pop it under the broiler for a few seconds to melt the butter and then make the sandwich."
