Sweet & Spicy Slow Cooker Meatballs

I am a huge fan of Sandra Lee and her semi-homemade cooking show on Food Network.  Don't get me wrong, I'm also a fan of completely from scratch cooking, but sometimes I have to choose between completely homemade and occasionally sleeping.  I also like to indulge in semi-homemade because it works well with couponing.  Frozen meats tend to go on sale with coupons more often and for deeper discounts than fresh meat.  For example, I got the meatballs for this recipe on a 2 for 1 sale with a coupon to boot. 

You will need:

1 bag of frozen meatballs (this recipe calls for a 2.4lb. bag of approximately 76 meatballs)
Jasmine rice
2 cups ketchup
1 1/4 cups raspberry chipotle sauce (from Costco...a lot of things can be substituted for this: BBQ sauce, grape jelly, or even hoisin sauce)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic (or one clove finely minced fresh garlic)
2 teaspoons jarred or "tubed" minced lemon grass 
2 teaspoons jarred or "tubed" minced ginger

Mix all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl.  Place the frozen meatballs in the crockpot/slow cooker and pour the sauce over the meatballs.  Stir together.  Set the crockpot/slow cooker on high and cook for 1.5 - 2 hours or until warm.  Serve over jasmine rice.
