i trid to remember this recipe at the store i bought a tall heavy cream
and a small half and half do you think that will make a difference?

how many bags of prepared meat balls will this sauce handle?

how much time do they take in a crockpot? on high?

I hosted a Super Bowl party for a bunch of my (well, our) friends last year. Let me see if I can recall what all was there . . . . . .

Home Made Buffalo Wings
Loaded Baked Potatoes (bacon, cheddar, sour cream, forgot the chives)
Meatballs in marinara sauce in the crock pot.

There seems to be something else, but I can't recall what. If I do it again, I want to make a Tex Mex stew I've been working on perfecting for a while. I'll either icks nay the meatballs, or get another crock pot since the stew req's a crock pot.
 
YUM! This is one of me and my daughter's favorites!!!! Similar to reuben dip!
And don't forget about the buffalo wing dip that someone posted on here some time ago... (apologies for not inserting a link, my computer is a t-rex)

Ok, I'll come out of left-field for this. Normally, I refuse to watch football (go ahead, flame me, I ain't normal). However, if I were to watch a game, I'd have to get a bag of the frozen, breaded wings that we use at work, fry them in my fryer at home, and toss with the hot sauce I helped to make at work last weekend. I have a quart of this molten lava at home, and am itching to use it.

I may just have to break down, buy some raw wings at the store, and bread them myself, cook, and cover with sauce anyway, no ocassion needed.

I have a ton of appetizer recipes, but rarely make them at home.

That's fine, the Detroit Lions have refused to actually PLAY FOOTBALL for years!! :ROFLMAO:

I don't know what it is, but it sure ain't football! (The American, or International versions!)
