Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 20 oz bag frozen meatballs (or homemade)
Sauce
- 1/2 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1/2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
Garnish
- Green onions, diced
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Place Meatballs: Put the frozen or homemade meatballs into the crockpot evenly.
- Mix Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and brown sugar, stirring until well mixed.
- Coat Meatballs: Pour the prepared sauce over the meatballs and toss them gently to ensure all meatballs are fully coated with the sauce.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook the meatballs on high for 1-2 hours or on low for 2-4 hours. Stir occasionally to distribute the sauce evenly and prevent sticking.
- Garnish and Serve: Once fully cooked and tender, sprinkle diced green onions and sesame seeds over the meatballs before serving for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can use homemade meatballs if preferred instead of frozen.
- For thicker sauce, you can simmer the sauce on the stovetop before adding or thicken with cornstarch slurry if desired.
- Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
- Adjust honey and brown sugar for sweetness preference.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
