Honey BBQ Meatballs

 

Honey BBQ Meatballs 

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef or ground turkey

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup milk

1 egg

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup BBQ sauce

1/4 cup honey

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

Instructions:

Prepare the Meatballs:

In a bowl, combine ground beef or turkey, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Mix well and form into small meatballs.

Cook the Meatballs:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Fry the meatballs until browned on all sides and fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.

Make the Honey BBQ Sauce:

In a small saucepan, mix BBQ sauce, honey, and soy sauce. Heat over medium heat until well combined and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Coat the Meatballs:

Add the cooked meatballs to the saucepan and toss to coat them evenly in the honey BBQ sauce.

Serve:

Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy as an appetizer or with rice, mashed potatoes, or rolls.

Notes:

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce to the BBQ mixture.

These meatballs also work well in a slow cooker for parties!
