Instructions:
- Combine Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Shape Meatballs: Form the mixture into bite-sized meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- Brown Meatballs: In a skillet over medium heat, lightly brown the meatballs on all sides. You may need to cook them in batches. Once browned, transfer them to a plate.
- Make the Glaze: In the same skillet, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Glaze the Meatballs: Return the meatballs to the skillet, turning to coat each one evenly in the glaze. Simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened to a glossy consistency.
- Serve: Transfer the glazed meatballs to a serving platter and insert a toothpick into each for easy serving. Enjoy!
This recipe is a simple and delicious way to enjoy meatballs. You can adjust the glaze to your preference by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat or a touch of honey for extra sweetness.
