Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Meatball Subs

The hot sauce that these meatballs cook in will condense at it simmer all day, ending up pretty spicy! Balanced out with some blue cheese spread, I thought they were just about perfect - but I'm also the kind of girl who eats hot sauce on potato chips (don't knock it 'til you've tried it!) If you prefer less heat, stir some butter into the sauce before serving them; if you're crazy and want them even hotter, you can add in some cayenne pepper.
