Ingredients

The following ingredients have 30 Servings
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 1/2 cup Progresso™ Panko Italian style crispy bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chile flakes (or to taste)
  • Chopped chives (for garnish)

Instruction

  • Mix all of the meatball ingredients together and form your meatballs.
  • Heat a large frying pan with a little oil and gently, one by one, add in the meatballs.
  • After they cook for about 4 minutes, flip the meatballs and cook an additional 4 minutes. Once they're cooked on the outside, they should be a little less delicate. Making sure none are stuck to the bottom, start tossing them in the pan a little more to cook them evenly. Drain most of the fat, leaving a few tablespoons' worth in the pan.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of water to deglaze the pan, scraping up any stuck-on pieces. Add the brown sugar, adding a little more water if the pan looks too dry.
  • The sauce should start to bubble and look like dark caramel.
  • Remove from heat and add in the barbecue sauce. Stir well.
