DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients except wing sauce until thoroughly combined. Use your hands to form the mixture into 12 equal sized balls.*My slow cooker has a detachable pot that rests on a heated base and is meant to go from stovetop to slow cooker. If your crock pot is all attached and the pot is not removable or tis not stovetop safe, complete step one in a heavy pot on the stove and then transfer contents to crock pot for step two*
Mist the inside of your crock pot (or other pot) with cooking spray and brown the meatballs on all sides on the stove top. Do not cook all the way through.
Transfer pot (or contents of pot) back onto your crock pot base and pout the wing sauce over the top. Stir meatballs to coat. Turn crock pot temperature to low and cover. Cook for 7-8 hours.
