For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of five-spice powder to the meatball mixture. If you don't have ground lamb, you can substitute with ground pork or additional ground beef. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference for spice level. These meatballs can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking in the slow cooker.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, 4 cloves minced garlic, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, grated fresh ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, white sugar, hot sauce, ground white pepper, and ground black pepper until well combined. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, gently combine ground beef, ground lamb, chopped cabbage, chopped yellow onion, panko bread crumbs, grated carrot, ground ginger, chopped green onion, 6 cloves chopped garlic, garlic salt, ground black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the prepared hoisin sauce mixture. Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs and arrange them on a jelly roll pan. (15 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are no longer pink in the middle, approximately 25 minutes. Shake the pan to turn the meatballs, then switch the oven to Broil and cook under the broiler until nicely browned, about 10 minutes more. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly. (35 minutes)
05
StepTransfer the warm meatballs to a slow cooker and pour the remaining hoisin sauce mixture evenly over them. (5 minutes)
06
StepCook on Low setting, stirring intermittently, for 2 to 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. (Variable: 2-4 hours)
