Ingredients

Servings

Meatballs

  • 2 pounds ground beef lean
  • 2 egg
  • 22 saltine crackers approx. 1 cup, crushed
  • 1/3 cup onion dry, minced
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 tsp EACH salt
  • 1 tsp EACH garlic powder
  • 1 tsp EACH onion powder
  • 1 tsp EACH ginger powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Sweet and Spicy Korean Sauce

  • 1 oz. jar blackberry preserves 1 cup, seedless
  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp EACH ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp EACH garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp EACH onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add eggs and gently whisk. Add all remaining Meatball Ingredients and mix until well combined. Roll meat mixture into desired meatball size*. Place meatballs onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  3. Meanwhile, add all of the Korean Sauce Ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
  4. Line the bottom of your slow cooker with a thin layer of the Korean Sauce. Add a layer of meatballs, drizzle with some more Sauce, then remaining meatballs followed by the remaining Sauce.
  5. Cover and cook on low heat for 2 hours, gently stirring an hour after cooking. When done, taste and stir in additional Gochujang if desired for more sweet heat. Keep warm until serving.

Notes

  • *Makes approximately 60 meatballs using 1" cookie scoop or heaping 1 tablespoon.
  • **Both Hoisin Sauce and Gochujang can be found in the Asian section of any grocery store.  I recommend googling, "Annie Chun's Go·Chu·Jang" so you can easily spot it.  If you can't find it, you can order it on Amazon.
