Meatballs Bavarian

Make up a whole bunch of smallish meatballs -- hamburger is fine. Put them in a crockpot and cover with equal parts of tomato ketchup (or catsup) and cheap beer (the alcohol cooks off). Cook on "Low" or "Medium" all day, stirring just enough that the stuff doesn't stick. I forgot -- periodically skim off the grease as the stuff cooks. How much grease you get depends upon the fat content of the ground meat you used.

Serve with toothpicks as an oderve or appetizer, or over noodles or rice as a main dish. It freezers well, too.

You do NOT need more seasonings, but you CAN tell everyone that the recipe is a family secret.
