Ingredients
Scale
- 24 ounces frozen meatballs (pre-cooked beef or turkey)
- 1/2 cup honey (120 ml)
- 1/4 cup sriracha sauce (60 ml)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (30 ml)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (5 grams)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and garlic powder until smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes.
- Place frozen meatballs evenly in the crockpot without thawing.
- Pour the honey sriracha sauce over the meatballs and gently stir with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to coat all meatballs without breaking them, about 3 minutes.
- Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. Stir gently halfway through if cooking on low.
- When done, the sauce will thicken and glaze the meatballs. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
Notes
Use pre-cooked frozen meatballs for best texture and ease. Adjust sriracha amount to control spice level. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Avoid over-stirring to keep meatballs intact. Can be made in an Instant Pot using sauté and high pressure cooking for 8 minutes with quick release.
