Meatballs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the BBQ Sauce

    While the meatballs are baking, prepare your house BBQ sauce or use a store-bought variety. Heat the sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the BBQ sauce. Stir gently to coat them in the sauce. Serve warm as an appetizer or main dish.
