These are some of the best meatballs I've ever made...always a hit. Anywhere I've ever taken them I've always come home with an empty pot. Another plus, the ingredients are in most pantries. Nothing extravagant. Can be served over rice, as I did tonight, or used as an appetizer. For a party, I would definitely double the recipe. They will go fast! I've also used the sauce on wings...yum! Just in time for Super Bowl! :) Enjoy!

How To Make ~ ultimate tailgate meatballs ~

Step 1

Preheat oven to 500 Degree F. Line a large baking sheet with foil. I spray it as well. Mix all ingredients together, well.

Step 2

Roll into balls about the size of a walnut or smaller. Place on sheet pan. Can place fairly close together.
Step 3

Place in oven and bake for 12 - 15 minutes, or until browning and baked through. Set aside and make sauce.
Step 4

In a dutch oven, over low - medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and stir every few seconds to make sure it doesn't burn. You just want it soft.
Step 5

Add the ketchup, honey and soy sauce. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat, simmer covered for about 10 minutes.
Step 6

Add the meatballs, coating each with sauce. Heat though for about 5 minutes. Serve hot over rice or alone. If using for a party, place meatballs in a crock pot and keep on low or warm. Enjoy! They are some very tasty meatballs.
