Time 42m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 dozen frozen meatballs (I use Trader Joe's party meatballs)
1 cup teriyaki sauce (try Soy Vay brand Very Very Teriyaki! It's deelish!)
red pepper flakes, to taste

Steps:

  • Drop meatballs and about 1/2 to 1 cup teriyaki sauce in a crock pot.
  • Add red pepper flakes to taste (I like them hot so I add quite a bit!).
  • Simmer for about 20 to 40 minutes (depending on the size of the meatballs, how hot your crockpot is). You can test one meatball by cutting into it; once it is cooked through, they are done!
  • If you don't have a crockpot, you can do this over the stove, too! Just make sure you keep it on low and keep checking to make sure the meatballs don't burn on the bottom!
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality frozen meatballs for the best results. Look for meatballs made with fresh, lean ground beef or pork and a blend of Italian herbs and spices.
  • Thaw the meatballs completely before cooking them. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Cook the meatballs according to the package directions. This will usually involve baking them in the oven or simmering them in a sauce.
  • If you are using a sauce, make sure it is flavorful and complements the meatballs. A simple tomato sauce, a creamy Alfredo sauce, or a tangy barbecue sauce are all good options.
  • Serve the meatballs immediately with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or a simple green salad are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Frozen meatballs are a versatile and convenient ingredient that can be used to make a variety of delicious dishes. With a little planning and effort, you can create a meal that is both easy and impressive. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, reach for a bag of frozen meatballs and get creative!
