About

Cooking meatballs can be a time-intensive process that involves standing over a hot oven and frying meatballs in batches while getting splattered by hot oil. These Crock-Pot® Asian Meatballs are a little easier to make as they are prepared by first baking the meatballs, then cooking them in their sauce in a slow cooker for a couple of hours. With delicious flavors of garlic, ginger, and green onion, Crock-Pot® Asian Meatballs are a savory delight best when served with jasmine rice.

Ingredients

  • For the meatballs:
  • 2 pounds ground pork
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons ginger, freshly grated

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 4 -Shape the meatballs into 1-inch diameter rounds and put them onto the prepared baking tray.
