Description

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground pork
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 large garlic cloves, minced
• ¼ cup grated onion
• ¼ cup Panko breadcrumbs (Japanese style breadcrumbs found next to regular breadcrumbs or in Asian food aisle)
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• salt and pepper
• ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• ½ cup soy sauce (I used low-sodium)
• ½ cup ketchup
• ¼ cup honey
• 2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. ground pepper
• ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (use ¼ tsp. for little less heat)
• 2 Tbsp. green onion, white and green parts chopped
• 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine the meatball ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.
• Line two large baking sheets with foil and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray. Form 1 to 1½ inch meatballs and place on the lined baking sheet in a single layer.
• Broil the meatballs on high for 6-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, or just until browned. **You want the meatballs ONLY browned on top and not cooked through***
• Combine all the sauce ingredients, except for the green onion and sesame seeds.
• Place the meatballs in a crockpot, coating with sauce evenly.
• Cook the meatballs on low for 3 hours. Mixing couple times to evenly coat with sauce.
• Transfer the meatballs to a serving platter and sprinkle with green onion and sesame seeds.
