1/2 cup BBQ sauce
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F. Prep a baking tray with a layer of foil or parchment, and lightly grease it.
02 -
Throw the ground beef, cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, pepper, and salt into a big bowl. Stir together gently—don’t overmix!
03 -
Shape the mixture into balls about 1 1/2 inches wide. Place them evenly on the greased tray.
04 -
Pop the tray into the oven for 15-18 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and browned.
05 -
Once out of the oven, coat the top of each meatball with BBQ sauce. Put them back in for 3-5 minutes to let the sauce caramelize and get a little sticky.
06 -
Top with parsley if you want and serve warm. They're perfect as a small snack or paired with mashed potatoes as a meal.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
To keep the meatballs soft, try not to handle the mix too much.
