Start by mixing the ground beef with breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic powder, ginger, and black pepper in a large bowl until everything is well combined. Form into bite-sized meatballs and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ketchup, and sesame oil to create a sweet and tangy sauce.
Place the meatballs into your slow cooker, then pour the sauce over the top, making sure they are evenly coated.
Cover and cook on low for about 3 hours, or until the meatballs are fully cooked and tender.
Once done, serve the meatballs hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired. Enjoy this delightful dish with rice or on their own!
