Ingredients

8 servings

For the meatballs

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
½ lb ground pork
Chef's tip
Use a plant-based ground product and cook according to package directions; add oil only if needed.
⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
1 large egg
Chef's tip
For each egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit until it thickens. It holds ingredients together but won't make things rise - best in pancakes, muffins, and cookies.
2 tbsp whole milk
Chef's tip
Use an unsweetened variety so it won't add sweetness, especially in savory dishes.
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil)

For the sauce

1 jar (18 oz) grape jelly
1 bottle (12 oz) chili sauce

For serving

1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands just until the ingredients are evenly incorporated — do not overwork the mixture.
