Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly but gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the buffalo glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the hot sauce, honey, and Worcestershire sauce to the melted butter, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Once the meatballs are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the buffalo glaze over them. Toss gently to coat the meatballs evenly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot. These meatballs can be served as an appetizer with toothpicks or as a main dish with rice or a side salad.
