  2. In a large bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, bread crumbs, and egg together with a fork until well combined.
  3. Add ground meat and stir until completely combined.
  4. Shape mixture into 25 balls and place in evenly spaced rows on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake 15–20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

Tips

Use ketchup, barbecue sauce, or tomato sauce in place of the sweet chili sauce

Use quick oats instead of bread crumbs.

Buy the bread crumbs at the store or you can make them at home. Make bread crumbs by using the following directions. Preheat oven to 300°F. Put two slices of bread on a cookie sheet. Bake the bread until it crumbles easily (about 15–20 minutes). Put the bread slices in a plastic bag, seal the bag, and crush the bread. Store the leftover bread crumbs in an airtight container in the freezer.
