Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 3 tablespoons onion powder
• 3 pounds ground moose
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
• 0.25 cup minced garlic

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Stir together honey, garlic, and soy sauce in a small saucepan, then stir in onion, garlic, and chili powders. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the sauce is simmering, roll 2 tablespoons ground moose into a ball. Repeat to make remaining meatballs.

Step 4

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs in batches until well browned and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes per batch; drain well.

Step 5

Transfer drained meatballs to a large baking dish. Pour in sauce and stir until meatballs are well coated.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs absorb some sauce and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
