Shape your meatballs then roll them in red wine vinegar, then on a high heat pan with olive oil already heated, roll them so that they become dark and almost crispy on the outside (the red wine vinegar gives them a caramel like glaze) then allow to cool for 5-10 min. THEN add them to your crockpot for final cooking. A great way to keep your crockpot meatballs from falling apart!

I do sometimes have problems with breakage - as I mentioned in my post today regarding my meatballs which I cooked for hours and hours - but I agree with others who suggest pre-cooking. I generally bake them and then toss them in - you still flavor the sauce with the meat, and vice versa. Also, maybe more breadcrumbs to hold them together, or ripped-up dry bread?
