Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 jar salsa
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp basil
• Olive oil
• 1/4 tsp garlic salt
• 1/4 tsp minced onion

Method

Mix beef, eggs, bread crumbs, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup salsa, salt, pepper, basil, onion and garlic. Use small cookie or melon baller to scoop small amounts of beef mix and roll in hands to make uniform in size. Do this until all mix is used. Heat a skillet on stove top or electric skillet could also be used (250-300 Degree F). Drizzle a little olive oil in pan on medium heat. Add the rest of salsa from jar and brown sugar. Stir until well blended while continuing on medium heat. Add small meatballs gently to sauce pan and cover. Cook on medium heat for about 20 minutes and until centers are completely cooked.

Notes: I got about 50 little meatballs. Everyone loved the different sweetness of these little treasures and they were so easy. I'm sure you could make ahead and freeze until ready to use. You could also cook them as directed and freeze. Then they will only need to be heated through for a quick and easy appetizer for unexpected company.

Number of servings: 10-12 servings
