Slow Cooker Korean Meatballs are going to blow your mind and tastebuds away.  Plus they are picky eater approved!

Hey guys!!  I have another super great slow cooker recipe for you today!!  I love my slow cooker, I love being able to put in a few ingredients in the morning and let them cook together into something amazing for dinner.

I never remember to take out my meat the night before to throw into the slow cooker so when I have a recipe that starts with frozen ingredients I am thrilled.

The sauce is simple, savory and a bit sweet and goes perfectly over rice for a quick week night meal that’s better than take out!

I make these meatballs all the time for dinner but they are extremely popular at parties.  They are perfect for parties, just plug in your slow cooker so they stay warm and set out some tooth pick, people go nuts for them!!  They are a bit different than your normal party meatballs and I think that is what makes people love them so much!  They are always a hit!

This is one of our new family favorite dinners!  It is so full of flavor for something that takes just a few simple ingredients! I love that I can just pop all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and let it cook all day into these amazing meatballs that are perfect over a bit of white rice.

I created this recipe because I love any sort of Asian beef, Mongolian Beef, Pepper Steak it is all so delicious.  I also love using my slow cooker.

I am not kidding when I say this is on the menu every week.  It is so easy, and the ingredients are easy to keep on hand.

All you need is just a few easy ingredients that you probably already have on hand and nothing has to be prepped I just dump it all together in the morning in the slow cooker and it just simmers all day filling the house with a delicious aroma that has everyone’s stomach growling by dinner time. That is why it is one of my favorite slow cooker meatball recipe to make.  It is so easy and delicious!

How to make Slow Cooker Korean Meatballs Directions:

1. In the bottom of your slow cooker mix the soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, soda, garlic, and scallions together.
2. Place the meatballs in your slow cooker and toss with sauce.
3. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours
4. Right before serving mix your cornstarch with about a tablespoon of water, just enough to make a slurry
5. Then add the slurry to the meatballs to thicken the sauce a bit Serve over rice, yum!

INGREDIENTS 

• Frozen meatballs-  There are a ton of frozen meatballs to choose from on the market, I would suggest staying away from any Italian flavored meatballs and opt for a homestyle flavor which is more neutral.  I prefer the meatballs from Sam’s Club. 
• Low Sodium Soy Sauce-  I always prefer to use a low sodium soy sauce as it is less salty. 
• Rice wine vinegar-  If you do not have rice wine vinegar on hand a splash of any vinegar will work just as well. 
• Brown sugar-  This adds such a great sweetness to these savory meatballs. 
• Cola soda-  You want to use a non-diet dark soda here like Coke or Pepsi. 
• Garlic-  I like to just use a little minced garlic but you can use fresh garlic cloves too. 
• Scallions-  These add great color and flavor to the dish. 
• Cornstarch-  Just a little helps thicken the sauce and make these meatballs glossy. 

Can I use homemade meatballs?

Sure!!  If you have a meatball recipe that you know works in the crock pot go for it! I would def brown them first.  You can also use turkey meatballs, whatever floats your boat.

Can I add veggies?

Broccoli or snap peas would be delicious in this!! Just add them in towards the end of cooking so they don’t get too mushy, unless you like that, I won’t tell you how to live your life lol.

How can I spice this up?

You can add some sriracha, red pepper flake or cayenne, super easy to add a little pop of heat to this dish!
