Will substitute with lean ground turkey and sweet turkey sausage to cut back on the sodium and fat. 🙂
I absolutely love this recipe i have made it several times. I am making it again tonight,per my 4 year olds request. I am going to be making italian sausage with it as well.
Is it ok to brown the meatballs the evening before, then refrigerate overnight and throw in the crockpot in the morning?
Yes Joan that works perfectly, I am all about prepping what I can the night before, especially when I have a busy day planned… Happy Crocking!
What size crock pot should I use for the slow cook hummus?
