Crockpot Honey Sriracha Meatballs – yummy meatballs cooked in the crockpot in a tangy sauce with a kick of Sriracha. These make for an easy appetizer or a main dish served over rice!
Hey there, y’all! Today is an extra special day on the blog because I’m sharing a recipe from a fun blogger swap called“Freaky Friday.” I’ve participated in this a couple of times before bringing you recipes like Oatmeal Lemon Creme Bars, Easy Baked Apples, and Mixed Berry French Toast Casserole. Basically, the way it works is that each of us bloggers was secretly assigned another blog to read through and find a recipe to make and post about. We weren’t allowed to tell each other whose blog we had or what we were making from their site. It’s all been a big surprise until now!
I had the pleasure of perusing the Full Belly Sisters blog, a website created by a team of sisters that focuses on healthy recipes, as well as providing support for pre and postnatal mothers. This worked out well for me considering my newest babe just turned three months old! I plan on trying their Berry Nutty Lactation Granola to help boost my milk supply, and their Green Grilled Cheese looks like a crazy delicious way to get in a healthy dose of veggies!
I decided to try out their recipe for Crockpot Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings because I was drooling over the pictures and needed something simple to make for dinner. With a new baby and two other little ones running around, easy is the name of the game these days and I love a good crockpot recipe! I decided to swap frozen meatballs for the wings only because I had a huge bag in the freezer that we needed to use up and I already had all of the other ingredients on hand. Who else loves recipes like that?!????
The flavor of these honey Sriracha meatballs is so yummy and I love the kick from the Sriracha. My kids did comment that they were a little spicy, but that didn’t stop them from chowing down on them! So I would say they do have some spice, but not an overwhelming amount.
Enjoy y’all and be sure to check out the other Freaky Friday blogs below! Can’t wait to see who had mine!

I am all for it with a recipe that cooks itself while chasing the kids around. Nothing is more tiring and the thought of having to wash a bunch of dishes afterwards. A crock pot is a necessity for all mothers! They should give them out when you leave the hospital along with your new mommy kit! And this recipe is a keeper for even now as my teen boys would destroy these in nanoseconds!
