This was not good at all!! The salsa and grape jelly makes a really foul taste, no BBQ here! I hadn't put the meatballs in the slow cooker yet, so I put them in the oven for 15mins, then added to slow cooker with a jar of pasta sauce instead. I browned the sausage in a pan and added to slowcooker, cooked on HIGH for 60mins. I was really hoping to salvage this and make a meal, but NO! The meatballs were very DRY...I don't think it had anything to do with me popping them in the oven either. When I'm in a hurry I use a Parm Meatball recipe that you bake, and they always turn out great. I would advise to just skip this recipe all together.
