Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In your slow cooker, blend together the ketchup, honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Stir the mixture until everything is thoroughly combined, creating a glossy, uniform sauce that will envelop the meatballs.
  2. Next, pour the frozen meatballs directly into the sauce, ensuring to spread them out evenly. Gently stir the meatballs, making sure each one is well coated in the honey garlic sauce.
  3. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or on HIGH for 1.5-2 hours.
  4. Once cooking time is complete, carefully remove the lid and transfer the meatballs to a serving platter.
