-
Form the meatballs – Roll the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, ensuring they are formed to a consistent size for even cooking. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
-
Brown the meatballs – In a skillet over medium heat, brown the meatballs on all sides until they are golden brown and cooked through. This step adds a delicious depth of flavor to the meatballs.
-
Prepare the barbecue sauce – In a separate bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients: brown sugar, garlic powder, onion, catsup, and liquid smoke. This will create a sweet and smoky barbecue sauce to coat the meatballs.
-
Combine meatballs and sauce – Once the meatballs are browned, transfer them to a crockpot or oven-safe pan. Pour the prepared barbecue sauce over the meatballs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Cooking option 1: Oven – If using the oven, preheat it to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Place the pan with the meatballs and sauce in the oven and bake for approximately 1 hour. Check for doneness by ensuring the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is bubbling and caramelized.
-
Cooking option 2: Crockpot – Alternatively, if using a crockpot, set it to high heat and cook the meatballs in the barbecue sauce for 4 hours. This slow-cooking method allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Serve and enjoy! – Once the meatballs are cooked to perfection, they are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them hot as a main dish with your favorite sides, or use them to make delicious meatball sandwiches with melted Provolone cheese. They also make fantastic appetizers when served on toothpicks with a variety of accompaniments. The possibilities are endless with these flavorful Bar-B-Q Meatballs! ππ½οΈ
