Add meatballs to sauce, stir to coat. Reduce heat to med- low for 5-7 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally.
Note: If planning to make a large amount for a party, I would place heated meatballs in a chafing dish and cover with the sauce and gently stir to coat. Keep heat on low and they will be just right by the time your guests arrive.
