Hi
These
crispy meatballs are drizzled with a thick layer of sticky, sweet and savory sauce. Really crispy outside and moist on the
inside. I must say they are really
flavourful and fabulous.
I
used all ground pork instead of mixing with ground beef. They’re equally great!
This is the 1st time I used HP BBQ
Sauce and it’s the best sauce as compared to the rest of the BBQ sauce I had
used so far. It’s rich and has the
authentic smokey flavoured. My family
could tell the difference.
The sauce, combined with the brown sugar, has
become even thicker and more flavoured. Fabulous Taste!

INGREDIENTS
For
the meatballs:
1
pound Ground Beef
(I skipped and used all ground pork)
½
pound Ground Pork
½
cup Bread crumbs
½
cup Parmesan cheese
1
no. Egg
2
no. cloves garlic, grated
Salt and pepper to taste
For
the sauce:
½
cup Brown sugar (should reduce)
½
cup BBQ sauce
(I used HP sauce. Should reduce as the sauce is overly
too
thick after adding brown sugar)
2
tsp Chillie flakes (or to taste)
Chives for garnish (optional)
METHOD
(1)Mix
all of the meatball ingredients together and form balls.
(2)Heat
a large frying pan with a little oil and gently, one by one, add in the
meatballs and cook for about 4-5mins.
Flip the meatballs and cook for another 4-5mins. 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.
(3)Add 2 tablespoons of water to deglaze the
pan, scrapping up any stuck on pieces.
Add the brown sugar, adding a little more water if it looks too
dry. It should start to bubble and look
like dark caramel.
(4)Remove from the heat and add in the BBQ
sauce. Stir well. Serve and top with the
chives.
Note:
I didn’t read the instruction
properly and had made a huge mistake on Step 3 & 4. I combined all the sauce together and later
realised they are so thick and sticky.
To fix the mistake, I added few
tablespoon of water to the sauce and cooked it for few minutes before I glazed
on the meatballs. I’m so pleased that it
turned out to be deliciously good! J
This is one more dish which uses brown sugar and I’m sharing this post
by linking it to August Little Thumbs Up, which the theme is Molassses and
Brown Sugar.
The event is organised by Zoe (Bake For
