Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, prepare the meatball mixture by using your hands or a fork to gently combine all of the ingredients except for the bbq sauce. If time allows, cover the bowl and chill for about 1 hour (this is optional, but will make the meatballs easier to shape).
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a scoop to shape the meat mixture into 1 ½-inch balls. Tip: rub your hands with a little bit of oil to prevent the meatballs from sticking. Arrange the meatballs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160°F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the meatballs to a large skillet. Pour the barbecue sauce over top; stir gently to coat.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until the sauce it hot and bubbly.

Notes

  • Crock Pot BBQ Meatballs: Bake the meatballs as instructed, and then transfer them to a slow cooker. Pour the barbecue sauce over top, cover the Crock Pot, and keep them on the "warm" setting for up to 3 hours. This is a great option when hosting a party, and it also makes dinnertime easy on busy nights!
