2 egg whites or 1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Apricot Dipping Sauce:
3/4 cup apricot preserves
3/4 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2
In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of lean Ground Beef, 1/4 cup of seasoned dry bread crumbs, beaten egg whites (or 1 egg), 2 tablespoons of water, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper. Mix the ingredients lightly but thoroughly.
3
Shape the mixture into 24 1-inch meatballs and place them on a rack in a broiler pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
4
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until they are cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F.
5
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the Apricot Dipping Sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 3/4 cup apricot preserves, 3/4 cup barbecue sauce, and 2 tablespoons of Dijon-style mustard. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce slightly thickens.
6
Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the sauce and continue to cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are heated through.
7
Serve the Mini Meatballs warm and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite.
