Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 0.25 cup ketchup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake the meatballs in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and browned.
While the meatballs are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the hot sauce, chili garlic sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ketchup to create the spicy glaze.
Pour the glaze mixture into the skillet and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to the skillet with the glaze and toss gently to coat them evenly in the sauce.
Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Transfer the spicy party meatballs to a serving dish, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions if desired, and serve warm with toothpicks or on a platter.
