Looking for something simple the whole family is sure to love? This is it! Big Yank eats them up as fast as his shrimp. I love taking this to new moms, because she can just pop'em in her mouth with the baby in tow, plus it's always a dad favorite. The original recipe is
here and it's great, but I like to make just a couple changes, because I love the sauce and there's just not enough of it in the original recipe.
When I make this I cook the 2 pounds of meat, but I use half for this recipe and I freeze the 2nd pound of meatballs for spaghetti or a different meal later.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 3/4 cup honey
- 5 tablespoons soy sauce
Directions
- In a large bowl combine eggs and milk. Add the bread crumbs, onion and salt. Crumble beef and turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls. Place in two greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until meat is no longer pink.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, saute garlic in butter until tender. Stir in the ketchup, honey and soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain meatballs; plate.
- Serve with rice, meatballs and topped with a ton of sauce. YUM
Happy Cooking!
