Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:

When I use the below quantities it gives you what you need to bring for potlucks...

I usually cook the larger quantities in the oven for approx. 40-45 minutes then I put the meatballs in the crockpot with enough sauce to cover.

Meatballs - 50
2 x the sauce recipe
2 x sauce thickening recipe

Meatballs - 100
4 x the sauce recipe
4 x sauce thickening recipe

Meatballs - 200
6 x the sauce recipe
6 x sauce thickening recipe

***there is often sauce left over that doesn't fit in the crockpot
