For the Meatballs

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the frozen fully cooked meatballs in the bottom of your slow cooker. Ensure they are spread evenly for even cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, and minced garlic until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce over the meatballs in the slow cooker, using a spatula to gently stir and make sure each meatball is coated evenly.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to low heat for 4–5 hours, or high heat for 2–3 hours.
  5. If possible, stir the meatballs gently once or twice during cooking to ensure they are evenly coated in the sauce. Once cooking time is up, serve.
