Add some spice to your meal with these Tex-Mex meatballs. Perfect as an entree or a side dish, these meatballs are packed with flavor and come with a hearty bean sauce that’s sure to satisfy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion soup mix, breadcrumbs, tomato paste, ground cumin, and egg.
Mix well, preferably using your hands.
Roll the meat mixture into large meatballs, using about 2 tablespoons of meat per meatball.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides, turning frequently to avoid burning.
Once the meatballs are browned, stir in the baked beans, brown sugar, paprika, salt, cayenne pepper, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato puree.
Mix thoroughly, ensuring the meatballs are completely covered in the sauce.
Cook the meatballs on medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until the sauce is well combined and heated through.
Serve hot.
