Description
Slow Cooker Honey Buffalo Meatballs are a sweet and spicy crowd favorite. Perfect for parties or a delicious meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs frozen or homemade meatballs
- ½ cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot or preferred brand)
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Optional: green onions or sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce, honey, ketchup, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Taste and adjust—more honey for sweetness, more buffalo for heat.
- Place meatballs in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over them. Gently stir to coat all meatballs evenly.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours for tender, flavor-packed meatballs.
- If short on time, cook on HIGH for 1.5–2 hours.
- If the sauce is too thin, remove meatballs and simmer the sauce on the stove for 5–7 minutes until thickened, then pour back over meatballs.
- Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds. Keep warm in the slow cooker for parties or serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles for a meal.
Notes
- Adjust sauce ingredients to taste.
- Can use frozen meatballs for convenience.
- Great for meal prep or parties.
