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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 4

Bake the meatballs in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and browned.

Step 5

While the meatballs are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the hot sauce, chili garlic sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ketchup to create the spicy glaze.

Step 7

Pour the glaze mixture into the skillet and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 8

Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to the skillet with the glaze and toss gently to coat them evenly in the sauce.

Step 9

Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 10

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.
