Let me start by saying I am NOT a fan of sauerkraut. Never have been. But then one day a friend brought these meatballs to a family gathering. I of course had no idea there was sauerkraut in them or I would never have eaten them. Of course, once I did know, it was too late. I'd already eaten five of them, and I couldn't deny they were absolutely delicious! Now they are one of my go-to appetizers! I like to make my own meatballs, but if your don't have time, a bag of frozen will do just fine! Then just a few more ingredients, a slow cooker and VIOLA you have the perfect appetizer for family and friends!
And trust me, if your not a fan of sauerkraut, you'll never know it's in these tangy-moist meatballs!

How important is the pork? My lovely but exasperating DIL has pork on her long list of banished ingredients. Would chicken, lamb, or turkey hold up as a substitute? Don't suggest veal as it's also on her list.
what could I replace the Chili sauce? That’s too much sugar for me. I will already be using a sugar substitute for the brown sugar to keep this low carb.
