Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound frozen meatballs Opt for high-quality frozen meatballs for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup honey Choose pure, local honey for better flavor.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Low-sodium soy sauce can be used.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a slow cooker, combine ketchup, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until fully blended.
  2. Add frozen meatballs into the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 1.5-2 hours, until meatballs are heated through and sauce has thickened.
  4. Serve hot, either alone, over rice, or with toothpicks as an appetizer.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, uncover for the last 30 minutes. You can adjust sweetness by reducing honey.
