Meatballs

Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Form Meatballs

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

  4. 4

    Bake Meatballs

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

Bar-B-Que Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

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

  2. 6

    Simmer Sauce

    Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

Final Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine Meatballs and Sauce

    Once the meatballs are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared Bar-B-Que sauce over the meatballs and gently toss to coat them evenly.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Transfer the coated meatballs to a serving platter and enjoy them warm. They can be served as an appetizer or as a main dish with sides.
