Description

A hearty, saucy mix of meatballs and sausage slow-cooked in BBQ sauce. Great for parties, potlucks, or as a filling main dish.

Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package kielbasa sausage
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
  • 1 (10 ounce) jar grape jelly
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 pounds ground beef 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 cup cornflakes cereal, crushed
Directions
  1. Fill a large pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the kielbasa and return to a boil. Cook until hot, 8 to 10 minutes; drain and cut into bite sized pieces. Place the kielbasa into a slow cooker; stir in the salsa, grape jelly, water, and lemon juice.
  2. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a mixing bowl; mix in the onion, ground beef, salt, pepper, and crushed cornflakes. Mix with your hands until evenly incorporated. Roll the mixture into balls the size of a large walnut; place into the slow cooker.
  3. Set the slow cooker on High and cook until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour.
