Description

Delicious and easy Asian-inspired crockpot meatballs made with a savory and slightly sweet sauce, perfect for appetizers or main dishes.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pounds frozen meatballs (beef, chicken, or turkey)
  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and sriracha.
  2. Place frozen meatballs in the crockpot.
  3. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and stir to coat evenly.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours, until meatballs are heated through.
  5. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  6. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • You can use homemade meatballs instead of frozen ones.
  • Adjust the spice level by increasing or omitting the sriracha.
  • These meatballs can be served over rice or noodles for a full meal.
