These glazed meatballs are a great recipe for the grill! Grill pans and baskets are available to help expedite the process. Makes about 30 meatballs.

Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

  • pinch of salt

  • pinch of pepper

Glaze

  • several drops of Tabasco sauce

Directions

1.

Heat the canola oil in a medium skillet, then sauté onion and garlic for about five minutes until translucent.  Cool for a few minutes.

2.

Place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl.  Add the barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.  Add the sautéed onions and garlic.  Mix together all ingredients.

3.

Form the mixture into meatballs—about one and a half inches in diameter.

4.

Thread the meatballs onto skewers (see note) or, if desired, grill them individually (see tip).

5.

Combine the glaze ingredients into a medium mixing bowl and whisk together well.

6.

Lightly grease a grill pan or outdoor grill, then preheat for a few minutes.  Place meatball skewers or individual meatballs on the grill for about eight to 10 minutes, turning them every few minutes to ensure even cooking and browning.

7.

Brush on the glaze every time the meatballs are turned.

Tips:

It is easier to turn the meatballs when they are placed individually on the grill.

Notes:

Flat stainless steel skewers work best. I use tongs to turn the meatballs. Meatball grilling baskets and pans are available, and help to expedite the process.
