Ingredients
Scale
Meatballs
- 2 pounds frozen meatballs
Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¾ cup ketchup
- ½ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 scallions, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray your slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then place the frozen meatballs evenly inside.
- Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly until well combined to create the honey garlic sauce.
- Combine Meatballs and Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the meatballs in the slow cooker. Use a spoon or spatula to gently toss and coat the meatballs with the sauce.
- Cook: Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 4 hours, or set to high and cook for 2 to 3 hours. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and coating.
- Serve: Once cooked and sauce has thickened slightly, sprinkle the chopped scallions over the meatballs for a fresh garnish before serving.
Notes
- For best flavor, use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
- You can substitute frozen meatballs with fresh or homemade meatballs, adjusting cooking time as needed.
- Serve these meatballs as an appetizer, main dish with rice or noodles, or in a sandwich.
- If thicker sauce is desired, remove the meatballs and reduce the sauce on the stovetop before serving.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
