Sweet and Spicy Meatballs with Honey Mustard Buffalo Sauce

Sweet and spicy Honey Mustard Buffalo Meatballs are easy to make on the stove or in a crockpot with a combination of ground chicken and pork. They’re sweet, hot, tangy and perfect as a game day or party appetizer! Or serve them on rolls as meatball subs for a delicious meal!

The Super Bowl is just 9 days away, time to get that game day menu ready, and I have just the meatball recipe to WOW your friends at this years party!

Last weekend I tested out these buffalo meatballs on my friends that came over to watch the NFL Playoffs. Needless to say, they was a huge hit, like “I’m glad I grabbed one before they were gone in 60 seconds” type of hit!

Now, if you’re thinking that the combination of buffalo sauce and honey mustard is just plain crazy, then I’m about to blow your mind with just how delicious it is!

When we’re not hosting our friends to watch football at the house, we’re usually at Bub’s, a local sports bar in San Diego that hosts Steelers fans (AKA my husband!) and serves up some of the best wings in the city with a variety of sauces, including their “Archie Sauce”.

And if you guessed that Archie Sauce was a combination of honey mustard dressing and buffalo sauce, well then you’d be right!

Since this weekend was a big game for my husbands Steelers, I wanted to recreate the Archie Sauce at home. Instead of tossing it with wings, I decided to toss it with his favorite game day appetizer, meatballs!

The base of the meatball is a delicious combination of chicken and pork. I use this same combination of meats to make my Caribbean Jerk Chicken & Pork Meatballs and Chicken Marsala Meatballs!

I added chili powder and paprika to season the meatballs, then cooked them in the delicious homemade “Archie Sauce” to make the most scrumptious Honey Mustard Buffalo Meatballs ever!

Ready, set, TOUCHDOWN!
