Kittencal's Honey-Garlic Glazed Meatballs

This is an easy recipe made even easier if your meatballs are pre-made ahead of time which makes this a perfect weekday meal served with cooked rice ---I have listed the chili flakes as optional you may adjust to suit taste or omit, my family likes extreme heat so I use 1 teaspoon --- the meatballs must be pre cooked before adding to the sauce, you may use frozen cooked store bought meatballs or use your own favorite recipe, you may double the sauce recipe if desired, prep time does not include preparing and cooking the meatballs.
