Crockpot Meatball Sliders

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1.5 tsp cumin
• 1.5 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup beer or broth
• 1 cup Chipolte Raspberry Jam
• Pkg. of slider buns

Directions

1. For the meatballs: In a large bowl, add the first 10 ingredients and mix with your hands. Once the ingredients are combined, shape into meatballs. You can use a medium sized cookie scooper or 2 tablespoons would work. Add olive oil to a large skillet at medium heat. Brown meatballs on all sides, do not over cook. You just want to give the meatball a nice sear. Cook meatballs in batches – don’t over crowd the skillet. Add cooked meatballs to a slow cooker coated with cooking spray. Once all of the meatballs are in the slow cooker, pour in beer or broth. Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours.

2. Once the meatballs are cooked, remove from slow cooker. Drain out the liquid. Return meatballs to slow cooker and cover with BBQ sauce. Turn slow cooker setting to warm and cover with lid. Let the meatballs sit in the slow cooker for at least 10 minutes. Serve BBQ meatballs on slider rolls.
