Honey Garlic Meatballs, great appetizer or delicious dinner

These honey garlic meatballs are a delicious blend of sweet and spicy, perfect for dinner served over rice or pasta or as a party appetizer. You can use either beef or turkey meatballs, just depending on your preference and because these meatballs are made in your slow cooker, cooking and cleanup is as simple and easy as putting together this recipe. Especially if you use the slow cooker liner bags. I discovered those bags last year and they are such a time saver that I will not cook in mine without them now.
