Sweet Salsa Meatballs

shared by Patty H.
Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 egg
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup salsa
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup brown sugar (no wonder they taste good, right?)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. garlic powder

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together.
2. Form into walnut size balls using an ice cream scoop
3. Bake at 350 for approx. 40 minutes (I put mine on a roaster pan so the grease drips off. I also put about half an inch of water in the roaster pan. This really seems to help keep the meatballs moist. These could also be cooked in a skillet, turning as they brown)
4. These are tasty as they are but if you want to add some sauce, if you used a 16 oz. jar of salsa for the 1/4 cup, take the remaining salsa and mix another 1/4 cup of brown sugar with it. Pour it over the meatballs and let simmer a little while.
