Steps:

• Cover and cook: Secure the lid to your slow cooker and let it cook for as little as 5 hours on high or as many as 8 to 10 hours on low.
• Serve: Serve these over spaghetti, on a hoagie bun for a meatball sandwich, or as a party appetizer on their own. If you want to thicken the sauce, you can transfer it to a skillet set over medium-high heat and reduce it until it reaches your desired consistency. If the sauce has some fat floating on the top, just stir it in.
