Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef (use you own favorite recipe and shaped into small meatballs see Kittencal's Italian Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meatballs)
2 tablespoons butter
2 -3 tablespoons minced fresh garlic (about 8-9 cloves)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (pureed with juice)
3/4 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (optional, you may need to add in if using low-sodium soy sauce and adjust salt to taste) (optional)

Steps:

  • Grease a 2 or 3-quart casserole dish.
  • Set oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a bowl combine all meatball ingredients.
  • Shape in about 1-inch meatballs (or shape any size you desire).
  • Place onto a large greased jelly-roll baking sheet.
  • Bake for about 20-22 minutes or until just cooked through (they will cook more when simmered in the sauce) set aside.
  • For the sauce; puree the stewed tomatoes with the juice until smooth in a processor or blender.
  • Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add in minced garlic and black pepper and cayenne pepper (start with smaller amount of cayenne, you may add in more later) cook over medium heat stirring until garlic is softened but not browned (about 3 minutes).
  • Add in pureed tomatoes, honey, brown sugar and ketchup, bring to a simmer stirring constantly.
  • In a small bowl whisk the soy sauce with cornstarch until smooth; add to the simmering sauce and stir until thickened and bubbly.
  • Add in salt only if needed and adjust/add in more honey or brown sugar if desired.
  • Wipe each meatball with a paper towel to remove any fat accumulated on the meatball from oven-baking.
  • Place the cooked meatballs in casserole dish, then pour the sauce over meatballs; stir to coat (use as many meatballs as desired and freeze the rest).
  • Bake for about 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees F or simmer over low heat uncovered on top of the stove in a saucepan for the same amount of time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out really dry. I'm going to try again next time.

These meatballs were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I love these meatballs! They're so easy to make, and they always turn out perfect. I usually serve them with spaghetti, but they're also great on their own.

These meatballs were so easy to make, and they turned out so well! I used a jar of tomato sauce, and they still had a great flavor. I served them with mashed potatoes, and they were a hit.

I made these meatballs last night, and they were delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and they were still very flavorful. The tomato glaze was perfect, and the meatballs were cooked through perfectly.

These glazed meatballs were a hit with my family! The tomato sauce was flavorful and tangy, and the meatballs were juicy and tender. I served them over spaghetti, and everyone loved it.
