Cocktail Meatballs

Step 1

For the meatballs: Combine the beef, pork, breadcrumbs, onion, parsley, eggs, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix until combined. Using a tablespoon measure, scoop and roll the meat into about 45 small meatballs.

Step 2

For the sauce: Whisk the chili sauce, apricot preserves, soy sauce and sriracha in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Remove ½ cup of the sauce and set aside. Nestle the meatballs in the remaining sauce in the slow cooker in 2 layers.

Step 3

Pour the reserved sauce over the top layer of meatballs. Cover and cook on high until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is thick, 4 hours, gently stirring the meatballs halfway through to coat with the sauce. Serve from the slow cooker or spoon into a shallow bowl.
