Meatball Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

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

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meatballs

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the meatballs for 20 minutes or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, combine barbecue sauce, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir over medium heat until the sauce is heated through and well blended.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to the saucepan with the sauce and gently stir to coat the meatballs evenly. Serve warm.
