Ingredients

  • 1 package of kielbasa sausage (16 ounces)
  • 1 jar of salsa (16 ounces)
  • 1 jar of grape jelly (10 ounces)
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 finely chopped small onion
  • 2 pounds of ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup of crushed cornflakes cereal

Step 1

Start by filling a generously-sized pot with water sprinkled lightly with salt, then heat it up until it reaches a lively boil. Toss in the kielbasa and let it dance around in the bubbling water until it warms up, typically for 8 to 10 minutes. Once ready, drain it out and chop it into convenient, bite-sized chunks. Now, transfer the kielbasa pieces into a cozy slow cooker and give them a good mix with salsa, grape jelly, water, and a splash of zesty lemon juice.

Step 2

While the kielbasa mixture mingles in the slow cooker, take a moment to crack open some eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk them up and then fold in some diced onion, ground beef, a sprinkle of salt, a dash of pepper, and some crushed cornflakes for added texture. Get your hands in there and blend everything together until it's nice and evenly combined. Roll the mixture into little meatballs, each about the size of a plump walnut, and nestle them in among the kielbasa in the slow cooker.

Step 3

Now, set the slow cooker to its highest setting and let it work its magic. Allow the meatballs to cook through until they lose their pink hue in the center, which usually takes around an hour. Enjoy the delicious aroma as it fills your kitchen, and get ready to savor a hearty and flavorful meal!
