Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Sweet Chili Meatballs Crockpot:
1. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
2. Form the Meatballs: Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and set them aside on a tray or plate.
3. Prepare the Crockpot: Lightly spray the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
4. Add Meatballs to Crockpot: Place the meatballs in the bottom of the crockpot in a single layer. If they don’t fit all at once, you can layer them.
5. Pour Sweet Chili Sauce: Pour the sweet chili sauce evenly over the meatballs, ensuring they are well coated.
6. Cook: Set the crockpot on low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours. The meatballs are ready when they are cooked through and have absorbed the delicious sauce.
7. Serve: Once cooked, gently stir the meatballs to coat them further in the sauce.
8. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
9. Enjoy: Serve them straight from the crockpot or transfer to a serving platter.
