Teriyaki Meatballs come together in minutes using a few pantry staples and make the ultimate appetizer. Hearty meatballs covered in a sweet, tangy, and sticky glaze will have everyone coming back for more!
Spray the bottom of a crockpot bowl with cooking spray and add the meatballs.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the meatballs and stir to coat the meatballs.
Cover and cook on low 4-5 hours or on high for 1-2 hours stirring occasionally. Check that meatballs come to an internal temperature of 165F and the sauce has thickened.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
Serve as an appetizer or over rice or noodles as a meal.
Enjoy!
Notes
I prefer to cook my meatballs on low, but if you cook them on high you will need to stir them more frequently as the sugar in the sauce can burn. And of course, the cooking times will change with a new temperature.
Serve with some steamed broccoli for a full meal or Asian style tapas
Use ground beef meatballs or substitute ground chicken, ground turkey, or plant based meatballs.
Tweak the sauce by making it sweeter, tangier, or add more heat!
