Slow Cooker Chinese Meatballs

"Skip the takeout! These Slow Cooker Chinese Meatballs and crisp vegetables simmer in a thick, sweet pineapple-soy glaze for an easy dinner recipe with just 15 minutes of prep. It’s a perfect family-friendly meal on your busiest days. You know what I love most about this simple Crock Pot dinner? It doesn’t taste like a slow cooker recipe! The sauce is thick and rich (not watered down and thin), and the vegetables are crisp and bright (not soft and mushy)!"

NotesCooking Just for Two? Cut the ingredients in half and prepare the dish in a small 2- or 3-quart slow cooker. The rest of the instructions remain the same.

Want to Prepare these Chinese Meatballs on the Stovetop? Start by making the sauce in a large pot, as instructed. Whisk in the sesame oil and add the meatballs; cover, and simmer over low heat for about 20-30 minutes (or until meatballs are completely heated through). Add vegetables and continue to cook (covered) over low heat until tender.
