Buffalo Meatballs Recipe

American · Appetizer · 35 min total

These spicy, tangy buffalo meatballs are perfect for game day or as a party appetizer. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, panko, milk, onion, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
3. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs (about 24) and place on prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned.
5. While meatballs bake, make the sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine hot sauce, butter, and honey. Stir until butter is melted and sauce is smooth.
6. Transfer baked meatballs to a large bowl, pour sauce over them, and toss gently to coat.
7. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, broil meatballs for 2 minutes after baking.
• Make ahead: Prepare meatballs and sauce separately; reheat and toss before serving.
• Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
