Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crockpot Honey BBQ Meatballs
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands or a spoon until just combined, but don't overwork the meat.
  2. With your hands, scoop out equal portions of the meat mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Aim for a uniform size so that they cook evenly throughout.
  3. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Then, carefully place the meatballs in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Pour your chosen honey BBQ sauce evenly over the meatballs, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
  5. Cook your Crockpot Honey BBQ Meatballs on low for 4–6 hours or on high for 2–3 hours.
  6. After the cooking time is up, remove the lid and ensure the meatballs are fully cooked. They should reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
  7. Once the meatballs are ready, use tongs to gently transfer them onto a serving platter. Drizzle a little extra honey BBQ sauce over them for added flavor.
