How to Make Crock Pot Honey Garlic Meatballs

Let’s get things started. For a small gathering, I would suggest sticking with my recipe amounts. It will serve about 10 people. However, if you are expecting a crowd, don’t be afraid to double or even triple it. The more the merrier, right?

Start by adding the frozen meatballs to your crock pot and then prepare the sauce. Add the honey, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic cloves to a small bowl. Mix it all together.

Pour the sauce over the meatballs and mix it all together. If you are short on time, heat it on high for about 2 hours or until the meatballs are heated through. If you want them to cook a bit slower, heat them on low for about 4 hours.

It is really that simple! You will soon smell the aroma of all the amazing flavors and in no time at all, you and your friends will be enjoying a delicious appetizer while making memories that will last a lifetime.
