Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs
  • 24 oz Frozen Fully Cooked Meatballs Choose your favorite brand or homemade.
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar Dark brown sugar works as well.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Grease the bottom of your slow cooker with cooking spray. Place the frozen meatballs evenly at the bottom.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine light brown sugar, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce over the meatballs in the slow cooker, coating them evenly. Shake or use a spatula to distribute the sauce.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce thickens.
  5. Stir gently to coat meatballs in sauce. Serve as an appetizer or over rice, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds.
