Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

cooking spray
1 cup mango chunks
2 pounds ground beef
½ cup bread crumbs
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1 ounce) package dry golden onion soup mix (such as Lipton®)
1 tablespoon adobo seasoning
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 eggs
1 (18 ounce) bottle barbeque sauce
1 cup mango chunks
1 cup canned pineapple chunks
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Puree mango chunks using an electric blender or food processor.
  • Place ground beef in a large mixing bowl; add bread crumbs, garlic, soup mix, adobo, thyme, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Add eggs, followed by pureed mango; mix again. Shape into 1 1/2-inch meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and no longer pink in the centers, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix barbeque sauce, mango, pineapple, sugar, soy sauce, mustard, and cinnamon for sauce together in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Remove meatballs from the oven and drain excess oil/grease. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pour sauce over meatballs and return to the oven.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my meatballs turned out terrible. They were dry, tough, and flavorless.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The sauce was a bit too runny. I would recommend simmering it for a longer period of time to thicken it up.

The meatballs were a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices to the meat mixture, like garlic, onion powder, or chili powder.

The meatballs were a bit dry. I think I would add some more liquid to the sauce next time, or maybe even cook them in a slow cooker.

These meatballs were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less pineapple juice or adding some acidity to the sauce, like a splash of vinegar or lemon juice.
