Notes

To speed up the cooking process, you could cook these on the stove in a large pot on high for about 10 minutes and then transfer to a crockpot to keep warm.
To enjoy as a dinner, double the sauce and serve over white rice.
Substitute Sriracha sauce with soy sauce in part or in whole for less spicy meatballs.
