Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Orange marmalade
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sriracha (optional for heat)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs (about the size of a golf ball), and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the marmalade sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the orange marmalade, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, and sriracha (if using). Stir together over medium heat until the sauce bubbles and thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the meatballs are done baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked meatballs to the skillet and pour the marmalade sauce over them.
Gently toss the meatballs in the sauce until fully coated, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve the marmalade meatballs warm as an appetizer with toothpicks or over rice for a complete meal.
