Crockpot Swedish Meatballs

My husband is part Swedish and one of the things his mom makes every year on Christmas Eve is Swedish meatballs.  Whenever my MIL brings puts these out on the table, you know there won't be many leftovers. These are one of the foods my husband looks forward to every year and we have now introduced them to our family.   Something this good should not only be enjoyed once a year!

I have also made these using Morningstar Farms soy beef crumbles in place of the meat and they are wonderful!  You honestly don't miss the meat at all.
