Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese finely rated
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For Frying
- 2 Tablespoons oil approximate
Sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika optional
Instructions
- Combine meatball ingredients until well mixed. Form into meatballs.
- In a large frying pan, heat a thin layer of oil. Add meatballs and cook until browned on first side, about 4-5 minutes. Loosen meatballs if needed, then turn over. Cover and continue heating until cooked through, about 5 more minutes. (You can confirm doneness with an instant read meat thermometer.)
- Remove meatballs from pan and keep warm. Drain all but a tablespoon or two of fat, then add the honey to the pan with the meatballs to liquify. Deglaze the pan with the honey, scraping up any loose bits of crisp meat.
- When the honey is bubbly, combine the smoked paprika (if using) and BBQ sauce then add to the pan. Stir until the sauce is blended. Add the meatballs back to the pan.
- Serve warm.
