Crock-pot HawaiianMeatballs

This is a kid-friendly recipe that my kids ask for seconds and taste great as leftovers.
 I have also found this is a budget-friendly crowd-pleaser that I can make quickly for potluck or carry-in dinners.  Easily to double the recipe for large crowds. Serve with rice of your choice, or by itself.
