I was thinking about Crockpot Pork and Beans and how much I love that recipe, and suddenly the thought of using meatballs popped into my head. This wonderful recipe is the result. It's truly comforting, rich, and so easy. Just one note: this recipe is pretty sweet, with the baked beans and ketchup. You could add about a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to temper that sweetness if you'd like.
