Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 lb Ground pork
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Chili sauce
- 0.75 cup Grape jelly
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Step 3
Using clean hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
Step 5
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the chili sauce, grape jelly, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until the jelly dissolves and the sauce is smooth and heated through, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, transfer the baked meatballs to the skillet.
Step 7
Pour the sweet and spicy sauce over the meatballs and stir gently to coat them evenly in the sauce. Allow the meatballs to simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Serve the meatballs warm as an appetizer with toothpicks or over rice for a delicious dinner.
