A delightful blend of flavors with tender meatballs infused with ginger, garlic, and a tangy hoisin glaze, all cooked to perfection in a slow cooker.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef or pork
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce

Instructions

  1. Mix the Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, beaten egg, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
  2. Shape the Meatballs: Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the Crockpot with cooking spray or use a liner for easy cleanup.
  4. Add Meatballs and Glaze: Place the meatballs in the Crockpot and drizzle with the hoisin sauce.
  5. Set the Slow Cooker: Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the meatballs are cooked through and tender.
  6. Serve: Serve the meatballs warm over rice or noodles, garnished with additional green onions if desired.

Notes

Don’t overmix ingredients and keep meatballs consistent in size for even cooking. Let them sit in the hoisin sauce before serving for deeper flavor.
