Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker BBQ Meatballs with Kielbasa.
Step 1
Start by filling a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a vigorous boil over high heat.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, add the kielbasa and let it cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, just until it’s heated through.
Step 3
After that, drain the kielbasa and cut it into bite-sized pieces, making it perfect for snacking or adding to your dish.
Step 4
Next, transfer the kielbasa into a slow cooker, where the magic really begins.
Step 5
Stir in some salsa, grape jelly, water, and a splash of lemon juice, mixing everything together until it’s well combined.
Step 6
This sweet and savory blend will elevate the flavors beautifully.
Step 7
In a separate mixing bowl, crack a few eggs and beat them lightly.
Step 8
Then, add in chopped onion, ground beef, salt, pepper, and crushed cornflakes.
Step 9
Get your hands in there and mix everything together until it’s fully incorporated; this is where the fun happens! Now, shape the mixture into meatballs about the size of a large walnut, and gently place them into the slow cooker alongside the kielbasa.
Step 10
Set your slow cooker to High and let it work its magic for about an hour, or until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center.
Step 11
The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist sneaking a taste before it’s done! Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors in this hearty dish that’s sure to please everyone at the table.
