Ingredients
- approximately 40 meatballs storebought or homemade
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce or other hot sauce you love, or more to taste if desired
- heaping 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup apricot preserves
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the sauce ingredients until evenly combined and the sauce is smooth.
- Put about half of the meatballs into the crockpot and evenly pour about half of the sauce overtop of them. Repeat with the remaining meatballs & sauce.
- Cover and cook on low for about 2 hours, stirring when half the time has passed, gently so you don't break them up. When the meatballs are cooked, taste the sauce, and add in more buffalo sauce, to taste. Keep the meatballs on warm in the crockpot until ready to serve.
Notes
- If you like things hot and spicy, add extra hot sauce.
- This recipe is very easy to double- just make sure you are using at least an 8 quart crockpot.
- Don't worry if you think the sauce will be too thin. The cornstarch will thicken it during cooking.
- Want it extra saucy? Just double the sauce recipe and use the same number of meatballs. This is especially handy if you're serving it over rice or noodles.
