Asian Meatballs in the Slow Cooker
I love to use an Asian BBQ sauce in this recipe. My favorite is Trader Joe’s Organic Sriracha and Roasted Garlic BBQ Sauce. It has the most delicious roasted garlic flavor with the spiciness of sriracha for the perfect amount of sweet heat.
If you don’t have a local Trader Joe’s, you can order it on Amazon:
