Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup apricot preserves
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Roll the mixture into small, uniform meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake the meatballs for 15 to 18 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
  5. While the meatballs bake, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, apricot preserves, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar over medium heat.
  6. Bring the glaze to a gentle simmer, stirring until the preserves have melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
  7. Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm glaze over the meatballs.
  8. Gently toss the meatballs until they are completely coated in the sticky glaze.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • You can make these meatballs ahead of time and freeze them before baking. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
  • For a bolder flavor, Sasha suggests adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
  • If you prefer a slow cooker method, place baked meatballs and the glaze in the slow cooker on low for 2 hours before serving.
