Meatballs in the crockpot

So I get Better Homes & Garden's emails.  I pin a lot onto pinterest from them.  They always have great color and the recipes always sound yummy.  A few days ago they did a '5 ingredients or less' Crock Pot meal article.  I was salivating by the end.  There were 2 that spoke to me.  An easy chicken curry and a pesto meatball stew.  I made the latter tonight.... YUM....  I don't think of crockpot meatballs as anything besides Super Bowl food, but tonight changed my mind... and D1 LOVED it!!!  The other nice thing was that it only took 2.5 hours.  Here's the recipe!
