Orange Glazed Garlic Meatballs

IMG_9174 - Version 2

Meatballs are one of my husband’s favorite meals. I had to include them in our Tapas Date Night that I put together in our backyard for some much needed quality time.

These meatballs are so savory and sweet at the same time. We love a lot of garlic, and the orange glaze fit right into our small plates dining for the night.  The orange glaze is really easy to prepare and makes such a difference. Meatballs are such yummy meal, but this gives it another spin for your regular meatball. You will not be able to stop eating these.

  1. Hi Erin
    This recipe sounds delish! Just curiour though, it says to combine the eggs and milk – how much milk do you need?
    Thx!

    • Hi Kate,

      Thanks so much. There is not milk in this recipe. Not sure where that came from.
      Thanks for letting me know. The recipe is fixed.

      Erin

  2. Hello! Please tell me why salt is listed twice with different amounts yet directions only state using salt – but which amount? – once.
    Thank you
