Cocktail Meatballs

          

These tasty meatballs will disappear quickly from anyone’s holiday party. My mom makes them every year for New Years Eve, and now so do I. These do very well in a slow cooker, as you can simmer them before serving, as well as keep them hot for the duration of your party.
