Crockpot Sweet and Sour meat balls

I'm still on my really easy meals that can be made in the slow cooker. My husband loves meatballs and so does Orion.







Sweet and Sour Crockpot meatballs
18 medium cooked meatballs (I make my own with lean beef, panko, flax eggs and seasonings and bake them)
1 diced red pepper
1 diced onion
1 inch minced ginger
2 garlic cloves minced

Sauce
1/2 cup honey
3 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 cup cider vinegar (You can use white if you want the cider is just a nicer flavour)
1 can of diced pineapple with juice
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes




Whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce. Heat for 1 minute in the microwave to dissolve honey.
Place the rest of the ingredients except for the slurry in the crockpot, pour sauce over.
Cook on low for 4-5 hours.
15 minutes before serving gently remove meatballs,
Whisk in slurry, add meatballs back in and serve over rice or noodles
