Crock Pot Buffalo Honey Meatballs

Adapted from Carlsbad Cravings. I printed this out and the website didn't print.If I was guessing, I would say it came from the Austin American Statesman. I love crock pot meals and this one is easy and only takes 2 hours in the crock pot. I cut everything in 1/2 for just two people.
