Korean BBQ meatballs are made with a combination of ground beef & ground pork, then slow cooked in a crock pot in a scrumptious Korean BBQ Sauce for a totally tasty recipe!
In a medium saucepan, over medium high heat, combine the first 11 ingredients of the BBQ sauce and bring to a boil, cook 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water.
Add this mixture to the boiling sauce.
Whisk to combine well, reduce heat to medium and cook 3-4 minutes.
Turn the heat off and set the sauce aside.
Korean Meatballs
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Add all of the meatball ingredients to a large bowl.
Use your hands to combine all of the ingredients, then form into 1” balls.
Place the meatballs on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Place the meatballs in the oven for 10 minutes.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and add them to a slow cooker.
Pour the korean bbq sauce over the meatballs.
Cook on low 5-6 hours or on high 2-3 hours.
Notes
Stovetop Version: To make these on a stovetop instead of in a slow cooker, add the meatballs to the pot with the bbq sauce when they come out of the oven. Cover and simmer on low for 20-30 minutes.
