    4 hours ?….for a pre-cooked frozen product that can be bought with flavoring already on them ?…..i dont get it, i thought people want fast n easy ?…heres a test….do it slow cooker way for 4 hours or less than 20 minutes in the oven and tell me you can taste the difference….dont think so

      The idea is to have dinner cooking while you run errands or a really slow cook so it can cook while you’re at work so you’re not “slaving over a hot stove” after a long day.

      Sounds like a great recipe, I think Id roll my own meatballs…turkey balls, with ginger, garlic, and green onions 🙂

      Thanks for the tip.

    I love the bold flavors! I enjoy being able to get things going ahead of time so I’m not chained to the kitchen when everyone is getting together! 🙂

    Made them the other night and served them over rice for a meal. Not my favorite version and there was very little sauce to cover the rice.

  4. Any alternatives to honey? I have a baby under 1.

    1. You could use agave or maple syrup 🙂

      YOU CAN USED COOKD HONEY IN RECIPES, JUST NOT RAW HONEY….FOR KIDS UNDER ONE.

    We tried this recipe tonight and it was a hit in our family. The only change was we doubled the sauce. We used the “pantry” brand meatballs from Target and the kids asked for seconds.

    1. I LOVE when kids ask for seconds 🙂 YAY!
