How to Make Asian Inspired Meatballs

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup crushed crackers, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder.
  3. Form the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Place them in a lightly greased 13x9-inch baking pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
  5. Stir the sauce mixture until the brown sugar is completely dissolved.
  6. Pour the sauce evenly over the meatballs in the baking pan.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Serve immediately over rice with your favorite steamed Asian vegetables (broccoli, carrots, snap peas, etc.).
