Have you ever made your sauce and meatballs in the slow cooker?

Do you just dump everything in the slow cooker and set for an amount of hours?

I'd probably par cook the meatballs on the stove before putting in the cooker right?

I've done it, I've put the meatballs in raw and partially cooked them. I think I like it when I put them in raw better. I also put in sausage and cook those a little bit before cutting them up and putting them in the sauce

That's the only way I do it now. I cook the sausage and meatballs before putting them into the sauce. I keep it on low for something like 6 hours.

dh likes the meatballs like this. i make them then throw raw in the sauce and let it cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low. the meatballs are soft and very delicious.

We always do this - we brown the meatballs in a frying pan first - but they are not cooked.

I did it once and DH didn't like it...Said the sauce kinda separated (I was working and didn't have it).

Maybe I will try again with the new tips.

This is how I've done it too, and everything came out great! To the comment about the sauce separating you definitely need to stir it before serving, but overall the meatballs were so tender!
