At the good ol' pot lucks of yesteryear, this guy would buy a bag of frozen
meatballs (we don't have TJ's here so I have no idea where he got them,
maybe Sams Club). He'd dump the frozen meatballs in a crock pot with bbq
sauce and (gasp) bourbon. I remember the first time he did this, he was all
like "shhhh! I didn't make the sauce last night and I don't want to get
caught having bourbon at my desk!" Pullleeeze. No one will accuse you of
sipping bourbon at your desk.

My mom used to make something similar in a chafing dish back in the 1960's,
except she *made* her meatballs.
