Roll the meat mix into little balls about 1 tablespoon each and put them on your lined sheets. Pop them in the oven for 12-14 minutes but don't leave them too long.

As your meatballs cook, warm up the butter in a pot on medium. Toss in the chopped garlic for half a minute, then add the honey, ketchup, and soy sauce. Let it bubble gently for 5 minutes.

Drop the cooked meatballs into your sauce and let everything hang out together for 7-10 minutes until the meatballs are done and nicely coated.
