Honey Buffalo Meatballs

I love trying new meatball recipes. Especially when they are easy to prepare. These meatballs are baked in the oven and then added to a crock pot and coated with a sweet and spicy sauce.

3. Roll the meat mixture into the desired meatball size and place on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.

7. Gently stir the meat balls to completely coat in the sauce.
8. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring after they have cooked for 1 hour.
