Ingredients

  • Meatballs
  • 1 lb. raw extra-lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup finely diced mango
  • 2 tbsp. ketchup
  • 1 tsp. dried minced onion
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • Sauce
  • One 15-oz. can peach slices in juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free or low-sugar apricot preserves
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. Sriracha hot chili sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients. Mix thoroughly with your hands. (Don't be squeamish -- it's the easiest way!) Form 24 evenly sized meatballs from the mixture and place them evenly on the baking sheet.

Bake in the oven until meatballs are just cooked, 8 - 10 minutes. Meanwhile, drain peaches and transfer to a blender or food processor. Pulse until mostly smooth. Transfer to a crock pot. Add all remaining sauce ingredients to the crock pot and mix well.

Carefully transfer meatballs to the crock pot. Stir to coat. Cover and cook on low for 3 - 4 hours.

Stir well and serve up meatballs with toothpicks and the extra sauce from the crock pot!
