Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Meatballs
Last week, I scored a really great deal on frozen meatballs at my grocery. I stocked the freezer up with quite a few bags. It’s the time of year for them to run great sales on party type foods for game day. I am quite sure the stock that I purchased will be gobbled up way before the Super Bowl, lol. I can never have enough frozen meatballs on hand. I use them for meatball hoagies, quick and easy Italian dinners, and for our Slow Cooker Party Meatballs that I usually make.

My go-to recipe is great but I was ready to try something a bit different and decided on these Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Meatballs. The flavors worked well with my frozen homestyle meatballs I purchased. We actually made them twice. We enjoyed them on Christmas Eve as an appetizer and then I made them again this week to enjoy over rice for a quick and easy dinner.
The honey garlic sauce is so super simple to make. The flavors that we added have just a hint of an Asian flare and blend so very well together. My family really enjoyed eating them right out of the crock with toothpicks for their appetizer. So they make a great party food to serve to guests or even for an office party. Everyone loves party style meatballs. As a matter of fact, I do not think I have ever seen any party meatball leftovers, ha ha. For a quick and easy dinner, I served our Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Meatballs with some white rice. The sauce was great mixed with the rice. The family loved it. I liked that it made for a quick and inexpensive meal that I can make when I am pressed for time.

If I made homemade meatballs, how should I go about making the sauce?
Thanks
Are they frozen precooked meatballs?
Hi Chrissy! Yes, I started with precooked frozen meatballs. No need to thaw unless you are looking to speed up the cooking process.
How much honey do you use?
Oh my Faith! Thanks for letting me know that it was not listed. Fixing it right now:)
You forgot to say how much honey this recipe calls for.
Hi Bobbie! All fixed:)
I made these over the holidays too. Very good! I made four times the sauce ingredients and used a big bag of meatballs from Sam’s Club. There were no leftovers from the birthday party.
