I love quick and easy meals that everyone in my family loves. This recipe is just that! It’s so easy, it only takes 5 minutes to prepare! The slow cooker does the rest of the work. And everyone loves it! This is now a recipe I make often because my kids all love it so much!
I got this recipe from my sister-in-law when we had a birthday party at her house with all of my husband’s family. She served it along with rice and it was a hit!
To prepare this recipe all you need to do is add to the slow cooker: brown sugar, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, and garlic cloves. Mix that together then add the meatballs and in only a few hours it’s ready! For the meatballs, I bought a big bag of frozen meatballs at Costco and just measured out how much I needed. I can’t believe how easy and yummy this recipe is! It’s the best!
The flavor is so delicious! The meatballs are super tender. And honestly one of my favorite things about it is how much my kids love it!
These Honey Garlic Meatballs are the perfect appetizer as well.
Enjoy!

I love how easy this is and that it can all be made in the slow cooker! Win! Win! Xoxo
I agree! It’s so awesome how easy it is and that it tastes so yummy too! 🙂
Approx. how many meatballs are in 28 oz?
I just double checked using my kitchen scale and it is 40 meatballs. (The Kirkland Italian Meatballs.)
Can I put the meatballs in frozen?
Yep! That’s what I do.
Could you put these on high to cut the time in half?
I haven’t tried it but I’m sure that would work fine!
Do you put the meatballs in raw or are they cooked. Can I broil them first?
In this recipe, I use fully cooked, frozen meatballs, so I am not sure. I personally would cook the meatballs first.
Does it matter if I use dark or light brown sugar?
Planning on making these for dinner this coming week!
It doesn’t matter. Dark brown sugar has a little more molasses, which I love. I usually use dark brown sugar in cooking/baking, but in this recipe, it doesn’t matter. Enjoy!
