Korean Style Meatballs
These meatballs can be a 5-minute crockpot meal or you can make your own meatballs. This is a great potluck dish or serve with buns or over rice with some veggies for a quick weeknight meal. If you're making your own meatballs, you can toss them with sauce and serve immediately or just keep them warm in the crockpot.
Ingredients:
- 2-3 pounds of frozen meatballs (or make your own, see below)
- 1 bottle of Dirty Apron Korean Style BBQ Sauce
Directions:
- Put your meatballs into the crock pot and pour the sauce over them, give it a quick stir and cook on low until they are warmed through and ready to serve.
- If you're feeling fancy you can sprinkle some sesame seeds and chopped green onions
Homemade Meatballs:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup white bread torn into pieces (maybe 1-2 slices)
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground Italian sausage (sweet or spicy is fine)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp salt
Directions:
- Put the milk into a bowl and soak the bread for about 5 minutes, then gently squeeze the bread to get excess milk out, dump the milk and tear the bread into small pieces (pea sized)
- Add the beef, sausage, eggs and salt. Mix gently, the texture will get tough if you overmix it.
- Roll the mixture into ping pong sized balls. Wet hands are best for this, I keep a bowl of water next to me while I'm making the balls. Put them on a greased baking sheet, make sure they have space between them.
- Bake at 500 for 4-5 minutes then turn them and give them another 4-5 minutes. Serve with Korean Style Sauce.
