For a richer flavor, consider browning the meatballs in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. If you prefer a spicier dish, use a hot salsa or add a pinch of red pepper flakes. To prevent sticking, you can lightly grease the slow cooker before adding the ingredients. These meatballs and sausage can be kept warm in the slow cooker for several hours, making them ideal for parties. Serve with toothpicks or a slotted spoon for easy serving.
