    add meatballs and bay leaf, simmer covered 15 minutes or until meatballs are tender. discard bay leaf. serve in chafing dish to keep hot or remove to crock pot on low to keep warm. I prefer to put them in crockpot as to keep them warm while serving

    note ended up having to double the sauce but found out is not a crockpot dish better served right away over noodles. next time I suggest just making the meatballs and put in fridge then make the noodles and sauch and pour over at last minute to put in crock pot to go.
