Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 12 people

Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large saucepan
  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula
  • Measuring Cups
  • slow cooker (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup honey mustard dressing
  • 1 cup Sweet Baby Ray's teriyaki sauce
  • 1 cup hot sauce
  • 3 lb frozen meatballs do not thaw

Instructions
 

  • In a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup honey mustard dressing, 1 cup teriyaki sauce, and 1 cup hot sauce; whisk until smooth.
  • Add 3 lb frozen meatballs to the sauce and stir to coat evenly.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring often so the meatballs cook through and the sauce thickens.
  • Serve warm directly from the pot or transfer to a slow cooker to keep warm for a party.

Notes

  • Use Frank’s or your preferred hot sauce for heat.
  • Ken’s or Sweet Baby Ray’s are good options for honey mustard dressing.
  • Reduce hot sauce to taste; start with half and add more if needed.
  • Premade frozen meatballs work without thawing; you can also use homemade meatballs.
  • Smaller 1/2-ounce meatballs are used, but larger ones are fine too.
  • To make in a crockpot, combine sauces, place frozen meatballs in the crockpot, pour sauce over, and cook on LOW until heated through.
