Meat Balls on a Slow Cooker

[filibuster]

I have just made meatballs from a recipe in a Slow Cooker Book. It tells me to cook them in the Slow Cooker on Low for 4/6 hours but it only says to add liquid after this time. I do use the Cooker a fair bit but have never seen a recipe where no liquid is added from the start of the cooking. Could anyone advise me please?

i googled several recipes for meat balls and everyone says after browning balls put into slow cooker with your stock

I've cooked a whole very large roasting chicken in mine-with only a drizzle of olive oil,or the juice of half a lemon. It comes out beautifully.
I would imagine the slow cooking helps release juices already in the meat. I have found that adding liquid can result in too much.

Thank you both for your answers. I weakened and added just a trickle of liquid to the Cooker before the cooking.
