Step-by-Step Instructions for Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Meatballs
  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker by placing it on a stable surface and plug it in. Layer the bottom with frozen fully cooked meatballs, ensuring even distribution.
  2. Make the Sauce by whisking together honey, ketchup, light brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a medium mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Combine Meatballs and Sauce by pouring the sauce over the meatballs and gently stir with a spatula to coat them.
  4. Cook the Meatballs by covering the slow cooker and cooking on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours.
  5. Stir for Even Coating halfway through the cooking time to redistribute the meatballs in the sauce.
  6. Garnish and Serve by checking the meatballs and garnishing with sliced green onions or sesame seeds before serving.
