Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 (32-ounce) bag frozen fully cooked meatballs (about 50)
Sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2-3 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Garlic salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine the Sauce Ingredients: In a medium bowl or the base of your slow cooker, mix together the ketchup, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well blended.
- Add Meatballs and Season: Add the frozen fully cooked meatballs to the sauce mixture and stir gently until all meatballs are fully coated. Sprinkle garlic salt and pepper on top as desired for additional flavor.
- Cook the Meatballs: Set your slow cooker to high and cook for 2 to 3 hours, or set to low and cook for 3 to 4 hours. The meatballs will heat through and absorb the flavors of the sauce. Once cooked, switch the slow cooker to the warm setting until you are ready to serve.
- Serve: Serve these honey garlic meatballs warm, either as a delicious appetizer or as a main dish. For a main course, serve over rice and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
- Enjoy: Relish these sweet and savory meatballs fresh from the slow cooker, perfect for entertaining or family meals.
Notes

- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce before cooking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the microwave or slow cooker.
- Consider serving with steamed rice or noodles to complete the meal.
