Notes
- Store leftover meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results, reheat the meatballs gently in a saucepan on the stovetop to prevent them from drying out.
- Serve these sweet and savory meatballs as crowd-pleasing sliders on mini buns with coleslaw.
- A little extra smoked paprika adds a deeper smoky flavor that complements the sweetness of the honey.
