You can grind canned tomatoes, garlic, onions, chipotle peppers and salt in a blender to make a sauce that you then cook in a skillet with some oil until it turns a dark red color. you can then place it in the crockpot and it will keep for a long time. Allow it to thicken and add the meatballs, they taste better if you brown them first in a skillet. You might try to do that with green salsa as well. Mind you, in this case the crockpot is only used to keep this hot.
