Crockpot BBQ Meatballs

This time of year means lots of gatherings with friends, especially on Saturday and Sunday evenings to watch the big football game. A staple of our gatherings is meatballs in the crockpot.

This light version of a fall favorite will satisfy that meatball craving without putting a dent in your diet!
