Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, and egg thoroughly until the mixture is evenly blended.
  2. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs of approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter and place them evenly in the crockpot.
  3. Add Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce evenly over the meatballs, ensuring they are well coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 4 hours, allowing the meatballs to become tender and absorb the sauce.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, serve the teriyaki meatballs as an appetizer or over a bed of steamed rice for a full meal.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and teriyaki sauce.
  • To make the meatballs more tender, soaking the breadcrumbs in a little milk before mixing can help.
  • Leftover meatballs can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Add chopped green onions or sesame seeds before serving for extra garnish and flavor.
  • If cooking time needs to be shortened, cooking on high for 2 hours is an alternative, though low and slow yields the best texture.
