Used ground turkey instead. Also added a bit of steak sauce to the crock pot in adddition to the barbeque sauce.

Super easy & great tasting. No leftovers! I even doubled & I did add probably 3x the sauce. Made this for a luncheon & everyone asked for the recipe! A keeper in my box.

Overall it was very good. I did expect the sauce to be a tad thicker and the meatballs were a bit dry. But I will make again with more BBQ sauce.

It was good but I'll use various spaghetti sauces instead.

I cheated with the meatballs and used some I bought at the store, but this was really good and everyone enjoyed it!

We love this recipe! My 3 children and husband thought it was great, there weren't any leftovers. Did add more BBQ sauce.

The recipe is delicious, but the idea of an open-faced bread is no good. One cannot eat it like a sandwich, because you need a knife and fork otherwise how are you going to control the meatballs?

I loved this recipe as did my father, instead of adding the baraque sause last, I layered it and the pepper as I placed the meatballs in the pot
