Instructions
- Add the barbecue sauce to a large, lidded frying pan, and heat over low heat.
- In a large bowl, add the panko and milk and stir together to let the milk soak in while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients to the bowl and use your hands to gently mix it all together.
- Use a medium cookie scoop or use a spoon to scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the meatball mixture. Roll it into a ball and place it onto a plate or piece of waxed paper while you form all of the meatballs.
- Gently nestle the meatballs into the barbecue sauce, cover the pan, and cook at a simmer for about 15 minutes, turning the meatballs once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. You may need to scrape the bottom of the pan if the barbecue sauce starts to stick.
- Serve immediately.
