Gonna throw frozen meatballs into a crockpot with spaghetti sauce. These will
be available all evening at a gathering. It's the large crockpot.
How many meatballs can be put in, how much sauce. How long before they are to
be served should they be started to heat?

It is impossible to tell. All crock posts and all meatballs are not the
same size.

Also, Emeril's prodigy doesn't indicate if those frozen meatballs are raw or
cooked.... normal brained folks cook meatballs before freezing (a food safety
thingie).

Depends on the size of the crock pot and what settings you have on it. Put
some in it and layer it twice. Think about if you put a roast in the crock.
It will easily cook that many.

Temps: "Warm"? "Low"? "High"? or does yours specify a temp setting (as in
degrees)?

I'd put the meatballs in and smother with the sauce about 2 hours on high
temp to thaw them out and start to heat them through. Then reduce to a low
temp and once they are hot, switch to "warm" or 250F. Have you considered
adding a nice rich red wine, say 1/4 cup, to that "spaghetti sauce"?

If you have the option, I'd thaw and heat the meatballs in the sauce
on a stovetop then transfer to the crockpot to keep warm. That
would lessen the guess factor.

But Mr. Tom doesn't really cook from what I can tell. He will be using
frozen mystery meat orbs from Giant Eagle or Kroger's.

I would most assuredly brown the meatballs in a skillet first; second
choice, bake them first.

How many meatballs can be put in the crockpot depends on the size of
the crockpot and the size of the meatballs. Saying a crockpot is "large"
does nothing to explain its capacity. If you just look at the packages of
meatballs, you can pretty much judge yourself how many will fit in your
crockpot. Just put enough meatballs in the crockput to go about 2/3rds of
its capacity, then pour enough tomato sauce to cover the meatballs.

Cooking directions should be on the package of meatballs.

Chances are, these are in bulk bought at Sam's or Costco, which means they
are already cooked.

As many as the crock-pot will hold - usually 1 bag of frozen is adequate.
Use enough sauce to covet the meatballs.
If he meatballs are cooked and frozen start in morning on high and reduce to
low when the sauce is warm.

They're home made and mine come from a bag.

My guess is around 50 meatballs and around a quart of sauce. I made the
dreaded "grape jelly meatballs" for a xmas pot luck and my large crockpot
(11qt) held around that many homemade meatballs (48 IIRC) and I think that
much or more sauce. To get the meatballs unfrozen and cooked my guess is 6-
8 hrs on low or 4 hrs on high. Might be worth your while to pre-bake the
meatballs to mostly cooked and transfer the partially cooked balls to the
sauce in the crock pot, that you turned before you started baking the meat
balls.

All I know is that there is talk about a constitutional amendment concerning
such things.

You can covet them all you want. You just cannot marry them.
