Ingredients
-
1 cup chopped white onion
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
-
2 tablespoons Lambert’s Sweet Rub O’Mine Barbeque Seasoning
-
1 large egg
-
1 pound ground pork
-
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
-
1 green onion, thinly sliced
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small saucepot, cook the onion and oil over medium heat 5 minutes or until the onion is tender and starting to brown, stirring occasionally. Add the sugar, vinegar, 1 tablespoon Barbeque Seasoning and 1 cup water. Increase heat to medium-high and cook 10 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove the saucepot from heat and let cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg. Gently mix in the ground pork, breadcrumbs and remaining 1 tablespoon Barbeque Seasoning. Form ground pork mixture into 12 meatballs (about 3 tablespoons each) and place in the baking dish.
- Bake meatballs 20 minutes; top with brown sugar mixture and bake 8 minutes or until thermometer inserted into meatballs reaches 160°F. Serve meatballs sprinkled with green onions.
Recipe Note
Be gentle when mixing the meatball ingredients; overmixing can make them dry and tough.
Try mixing chopped fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary or sage into the meatball mixture for a savory twist or cayenne pepper to add a spicy kick.
