Number Of Ingredients 19

cooking spray
1 cup mango chunks
2 pounds ground beef
½ 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
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 eggs
1 (18 ounce) bottle barbeque sauce
1 cup mango chunks
1 cup canned pineapple chunks
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

These meatballs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the pineapple added a nice touch of brightness.

The meatballs were a little dry for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend adding a little more moisture to the meatballs next time.

The meatballs were tender and juicy, and the sauce was perfectly balanced - not too sweet and not too spicy. I will definitely be making these again.
