BBQ Meatballs

Yield: About 25-30 meatballs

BBQ Meatballs

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 lb. ground beef, chicken or turkey 
  • 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs 
  • 1 cup very finely chopped onions (a food processor works great for this) 
  • 2 tsp. salt 
  • 1 tsp. ground black pepper 
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano 
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder or fresh minced garlic 
  • 2 tsp. worcestershire sauce 
  • 2 eggs 
  • 4-5 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce 
  • 3 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. In a large bowl, combine all the meatball ingredients and use your (gloved?) hands to thoroughly mix everything together. 
  2. Roll meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. 
  3. Brown meatballs in a large skillet over medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Place browned meatballs in the bottom of a large heavy pot as you continue to brown them in batches.
  4. Pour the BBQ sauce over all the browned meatballs, using the full 5 cups if needed to make sure all the meatballs are covered in sauce. 
  5. Cook on high for 1 hour or low for 3 hours until meatballs are hot and fully cooked.
