Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • Medium Cookie Scoop

Ingredients
  

Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground beef or ground sirloin I used 90% lean ground sirloin
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.5 cup milk I used unsweetened cashew milk
  • 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
  • 0.33 cup sweet Vidalia onions diced small (yellow or white onions may be substituted)
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper or to taste

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced or finely pressed
  • 0.75 cup ketchup
  • 0.33 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 400F, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  • To a large bowl add the beef, egg, milk, bread crumbs, onions, salt, pepper, and stir to combine.
  • Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop (or your hands) form approximately 18 to 20 meatballs. After scooping out the meatballs with a cookie scoop, use your hands to roll into smooth balls and place on prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1-inch apart.
  • Bake for about 17 to 20 minutes, or until centers of meatballs are no longer pink and are cooked through; set aside.
  • To a large skillet add the butter and heat over medium heat to melt.
  • Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, or until garlic is tender and fragrant.
  • Add the ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and stir to combine.
  • Add the meatballs, toss and stir gently to coat evenly, and simmer over low heat for about 3 to 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened some and meatballs well coated; stir intermittently.
  • Transfer meatballs to a serving platter or bowl, insert a toothpick into each meatball if desired, and serve.

Notes

Meatballs will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat gently as desired.
