Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a large baking dish.
Meatballs. In a big bowl, mix the ground meat, breadcrumbs, green onions, and minced garlic. Use your hands to combine everything well. Shape the mixture into 1½-inch meatballs and place them on the baking sheet.
1 pound lean ground beef, ½ cup breadcrumbs, ¼ cup green onions, 2 cloves garlic
Firecracker sauce. In another bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes. Brush the meatballs with the firecracker sauce, saving some for dipping if you'd like.
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Bake. Cook meatballs for 30-35 minutes, until they’re cooked through and golden brown.
Creamy Dipping Sauce. While the meatballs bake, make the creamy sauce by mixing mayonnaise, sour cream, Sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and salt.
¼ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt
Serve the meatballs with the savory firecracker sauce on the side for dipping or drizzle the sauce on top. These meatballs are so good when served with lots of freshly chopped parsley, green onions, or sesame seeds. Enjoy!
¼ cup sesame seeds, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, ¼ cup green onions
