Notes
*Modifications by Grandma for finishing them in the crock pot:* Grandma says she makes the meatballs and the sauce and freezes them. The day she is serving them, she places the meatballs and sauce in the crock pot and cooks on high until everything is hot. Then she removes the meatballs and thickens the sauce on the stove (in another pan). With a wire whisk or electric mixer, mix the flour into the sour cream until smooth. Then slowly add to the gravy until thickened. Replace all in the crock pot on low until ready to serve.
