Meatball Ingredients

Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Mix the Meatball Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Bake the Meatballs

    Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and browned.

BBQ Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Stir the sauce and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Combining Meatballs and Sauce

  1. 7

    Combine Meatballs and Sauce

    Once the meatballs are baked, remove them from the oven and add them to the saucepan with the BBQ sauce. Stir well to coat the meatballs in the sauce.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the BBQ cocktail meatballs warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
