Tropical BBQ meatballs with mango and pineapple - a mouthwatering appetizer or entrée.
Ingredients:
  • cooking spray
  • 1 cup mango chunks
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 0.5 cup bread crumbs
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry golden onion soup mix (such as Lipton®)
  • 1 tablespoon adobo seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 (18 ounce) bottle barbeque sauce
  • 1 cup canned pineapple chunks
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Blend mango chunks into a smooth puree using an electric blender or food processor.
  • Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, garlic, soup mix, adobo, thyme, ginger, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. Stir in eggs and pureed mango. Form into 1 1/2-inch meatballs and arrange on a baking sheet.
  • Place in the oven until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 45 minutes.
  • Combine barbeque sauce, mango, pineapple, sugar, soy sauce, mustard, and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl to create a tantalizing sauce.
  • Take the meatballs out of the oven, allow them to drain excess oil/grease. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), pour sauce over the meatballs, and put them back in the oven.
  • Place in the oven already heated and bake for 20 minutes.
