With these asian crockpot meatballs it’s all about the sauce! The sweet and tangy fusion of flavors creates a lovely orange sauce that will tease and delight everyone.

No kidding, when these little beauties are left out in the open… you can expect lots of happy smiles and a very empty crockpot!

What really makes these meatballs extra fabulous is the simplicity of the recipe. You’ll just mix the sauce in a bowl, then pour it over the frozen meatballs in your Crockpot. It really is that simple!

Oh… and when your meatballs have finished cooking, just stick a colorful toothpick in each one. Then serve them on a pretty plate, or straight out of your slow cooker.

Trust me, using your crockpot to prepare perfectly hot and tender meatballs is the only way to go. These Garlic Honey Meatballs, terrific Teriyaki Pineapple Meatballs, and heavenly Sweet and Sour Slow Cooker Meatballs all prove that point deliciously!

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to get these tasty orange meatballs hot and ready…

Meatballs, soy sauce, orange marmalade, and barbecue sauce.

Ingredients

In addition to your frozen meatballs, you’ll just need 3 simple ingredients to prepare the outrageous orange sauce. The same orange sauce that I used with my viral Recipe for Easy Orange Chicken!

  • Orange Marmalade – For a perfectly balanced sweet orange flavor.
  • Soy Sauce – To add deep, rich and savory flavors to your sauce.
  • Barbecue Sauce – The secret ingredient that pulls everything together to create the most audacious orange sauce ever!

You can also prepare this asian meatballs recipe using my delicious homemade Meatball Recipe!

Like so many of my 5 Ingredient Crock Pot Recipes, you’ll also need a 5 – 6 quart Crock Pot to get the job done.
