Asian Crockpot Meatballs covered in a sweet and spicy sauce you’ll swoon over! I guarantee this appetizer recipe will be devoured in seconds, it’s absolutely delicious!

Do you have a person in your family who wins at everything?

I know you do. I feel like every family has one. Spill the beans, who is it? Well, in our family it’s my husband! No matter what I do. He wins, I lose. It’s horrible, because I am extremely competitive. I can remember playing Rummy 500 with him and I use to get so mad because I could NEVER beat him.

One time he beat me playing Poker without even looking at his cards!!! It’s ridicilous. Even his family will team up together to get him to lose. But if your on his team, in which case when we play partner games I am … it’s glorious!

The past two weekends we’ve had a “game night” with a bunch of friends from our church.

The first night we had a bunch of board games and everyone could split up and play the games they wanted. Mike went to play Monopoly … I would rather watch grass grow. A group of about 10 of us ended up playing a game called “Fish Bowl.” It’s kinda a play on charades, where everyone puts in three different items into a bowl to be guessed: a person, a place, and a thing. Then we do one round of having people on our team guess the item drawn from the bowl using only words, but not using the words on the paper. Then we use the same items but do it charades style. Then the same items but we can only say one word. The last round you can only make sounds without using any words, everyone on your team has to have their eyes closed and guess the item.

That last one was the toughest! Try thinking of a way to describe “booger” using just sounds. Yeah, it’s hard!

Normally I HATE those kind of games… mostly because I’m horrible at them. When all eyes are on me I freak out! It’s too much pressure! Luckily our team won despite it! Muahahahah!

The second game night we all played a game called SCR-UNO. It’s basically UNO on steroids that has been hopped up on alcohol. It’s complete and utter chaos! It’s hilarious!

And of course … who won. Ohh that would be my husband!

Anyways, the night we played SCR-UNO I brought three different recipes I had tested that day. The Herb Cream Cheese Cucumber Bites I just posted on Wednesday, these Asian Crockpot Meatballs (which everyone RAVED about) and Cheesy Bacon Stuffed Pepper … those are coming next week!

Of all the recipes I brought this recipe was hands down the favorite! In fact, people were camped out around the crockpot waiting for a toothpick to stab their next victim. (and by victim I mean meatball … not person … we are competitive at games … but not that competitive!)

One of my guy friends was even trying to think of another recipe with these meatballs as the star. He’s thinking a play on a meatball sub … more like Meatball sub meets Banh Mi Sandwich. I think it’s genius! I may just steal it! hehe

So with all the Holiday Parties I’m sure you have coming up make your life easier. Throw everything in the crock pot, no assembly required, just bring toothpicks and you’re all set!

It can’t get easier than that! Just be sure to make a double batch because these Asian Crockpot Meatballs will be some of the first appetizers to go. The sauce totally makes this dish, it’s sweet, salty, and a little spicy. You’ll be trying to get as much sauce as you can on those meatballs!

Bon Appetit friends and Happy Weekend!
