Ingredients
- 2 lbs of lean ground beef
- 1 can (8 oz) of water chestnuts, finely chopped after draining
- 2 tbsp of soy sauce
- 1 tbsp of brown sugar
- ½ tsp of onion powder
- ½ tsp of garlic powder
- 1 cup of apricot preserves or jam
- 3 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for that perfect temperature. In a large bowl, combine the flavorful ground beef, chestnuts, soy sauce, brown sugar, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix them all together until they form a harmonious blend.
Step 2
Next, shape the mixture into delightful 2-tablespoon-sized balls and gently place them on a baking sheet. Pop them in the preheated oven and let them bake until they are no longer pink in the middle, which usually takes around 15 minutes.
Step 3
While the meatballs are baking, whip up a delicious glaze by combining apricot preserves and cider vinegar. Once the meatballs are ready, toss them in the glaze in a clean bowl, ensuring they're perfectly coated. Return them to the baking sheet and let them bake for an extra 5 minutes to soak up all that flavorful goodness. Enjoy your scrumptious creation!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your meatballs fresh by storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help prevent them from drying out and losing their juicy flavors.
- 2. To save space in your refrigerator, consider using stackable containers or organizing your leftovers in a creative way. This will make it easier to find what you need and keep your fridge looking neat and tidy.
