- 3/4 tsp low sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 (28 oz) bag fully cooked frozen meatballs (beef, chicken, pork, or veggie)
- 3 green onions, diced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Add frozen meatballs to a 6-quart crock pot.

- Pour sauce over meatballs and stir to coat.
- Cover and cook on High for 2½–3 hours or Low for 5–6 hours.

Notes
Use fully cooked frozen meatballs to prevent excess grease. Real honey and fresh garlic/onion boost flavor. To thicken the sauce, cook uncovered the last 15 minutes. Serve over rice, noodles, or as appetizers. Store leftovers in the fridge for 4–5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
