Ingredients
2 pounds 85% lean ground beef or turkey
1 cup crushed wheat flake or corn flake cereal
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (8oz) can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 (28 oz) can Saucy Spoon Sweet Hickory Baked Beans
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, cereal, applesauce, onion, egg, garlic salt and black pepper. Mix well. Form into balls using about ¼ cup meat mixture for each. Place meatballs into air fryer (it’s ok if they touch).
- In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce and maple syrup. Drizzle over the meatballs. Air fry at 360°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until meatballs are at least 165°. (Do NOT preheat air fryer.) Let rest for 5 minutes before removing from air fryer. Batch cook meatballs if they don’t all fit in the air fryer. In a saucepan or microwave-safe container, heat beans covered for 2 to 3 minutes or until hot.
- Serve baked beans with meatballs.
Oven Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 13×9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Place meatballs in pan and spoon sauce over the meatballs. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until meatballs are at least 165°F.
