For a smoother sauce, consider using a blender or immersion blender to combine the sauce ingredients. If you prefer a spicier kick, add an extra dash or two of hot pepper sauce to the glaze. These meatballs are great served over rice, pasta, or even on their own as an appetizer with toothpicks. Meatballs can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
