Meatballs

Method

Meatballs

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.

  3. 3

    Form the Meatballs

    Using your hands, mix the ingredients until well combined. Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs 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 on the outside.

BBQ Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the BBQ Sauce

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

  2. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Heat the saucepan over medium heat and bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine Meatballs and Sauce

    Once the meatballs are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them in the saucepan with the BBQ sauce. Toss to coat the meatballs evenly with the sauce.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the BBQ meatballs hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
