Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lb ground beef
1/2 onion, fine dice
3 Tbsp basil leaves, finely shredded
3 Tbsp soy sauce, low sodium
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp gr black pepper
PLUM SAUCE
18 oz plum preserves, jar
1/2 c soy sauce, low sodium
1/2 c brown sugar, light
2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp hot sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix beef, onion, basil leaves, soy sauce, vinegar, beaten egg, salt & pepper in medium size mixing bowl. Form meatballs with 1 tbsp size scoops and place on lightly oiled sheeetpan. Bake about 20 minutes. Spoon meatballs into serving bowl and allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
  • 2. Plum Sauce: Place preserves, soy sauce, hot sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar into small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir the contents often to help the brown sugar to dissolve and the preservatives to liquify. Allow sauce to go just to a soft boil, lower heat, and continue heating for about 10 minutes so it reduces slightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool at least 10 minutes.
  • 3. When sauce has slightly cooled, pour 1/2 of the sauce over the meatballs and gently mix well. Add more sauce if needed or reserve for future use.

These meatballs are a great freezer meal. I often make a double batch and freeze half of them for later.

Overall, I thought these meatballs were pretty good. They were easy to make and had a nice flavor. I would make them again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

These meatballs were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I should have used less soy sauce.

I found that the meatballs were a bit dry. I think I should have added more liquid to the mixture.

These meatballs were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. Next time I will use less chili sauce.
