Teriyaki Meatball Sauce
This recipe calls for two tablespoons of cornstarch to thicken the sauce. You can add all of the cornstarch before putting the mixture in the crockpot or, like Anne did add, one tablespoon at the beginning and one at the end. To Thicken the mixture at the end, Anne made a slurry with two tablespoons of the sauce in the crockpot and one tablespoon of corn starch! This allows you to control the thickness, making it what your family loves.
