Preparation

Step 1

ombine all meatball ingredients and mix together until combined. Form into 1" meatballs. Cook in 350 degree oven for approx. 20 minutes, or just until cooked through. While meatballs are cooking, in a bowl, whisk together cold water and cornstarch. Add all other sauce ingredients and stir until combined. (Sauce will be watery and will thicken when cooked.) When meatballs are done, transfer to crock pot, pour on sauce and set to high for one hour. Reduce to low for an additional hour. Stir occasionally. Serve hot.
