Recipe: Honey Garlic Appetizer Meatballs

HONEY GARLIC APPETIZER MEATBALLS

FOR THE MEATBALLS:
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 cup dry bread crumbs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 eggs
2 tsp. salt
FOR THE HONEY-GARLIC SAUCE:
1 tbsp. butter
3 cloves garlic
3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup liquid honey
1/4 cup soy sauce

TO MAKE THE MEATBALLS:
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

Put meat in a bowl and break with fork. Add and mix together: bread crumbs, milk, onion, eggs, and salt. Shape into 1-inch meatballs. (They taste better when they are small.) Place in single layer on a jelly roll pan.

Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Drain well.

TO PREPARE THE SAUCE:
Melt butter in a saucepan and saute garlic until tender. Add ketchup, honey, and soy sauce. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer five minutes.

Add meatballs to sauce. Return to boil and simmer uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally or until sauce glazes meatballs.

The meatballs freeze well.
