Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Egg |
| 1 | Onion |
| 1 | Worcestershire sauce |
| 1/2 | Tabasco sauce |
| 1 | Catsup |
| 2 – 3 | Liquid smoke |
| 2 | Horseradish |

Instructions:
-
Mix it Up: In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, finely chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, a dash of Tabasco sauce for that extra kick, catsup, liquid smoke (because who doesn’t love that smoky flavor?), grated horseradish, salt, minced garlic, and finally, the star of the show, the barbecue sauce. Give it all a good mix until well combined. Don’t be shy; get those hands dirty and really work those flavors together!

-
Roll with It: Once your flavorful mixture is ready, it’s time to get rolling. Take small portions of the hamburger mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about the diameter of quarters. This step is where you can really get creativeβmake them as big or as small as you like!
-
Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Place your meatballs evenly on a large baking sheet, making sure they have a little space to breathe. Pop them into the oven and let them bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until they’re perfectly golden brown and cooked through.
-
Saucy Simmer: Once your meatballs are baked to perfection, it’s time to take them to the next level. Remove any excess grease and transfer the meatballs to a crockpot. Pour over the luscious barbecue sauce, ensuring that each meatball is generously coated in that sticky, sweet goodness. Set your crockpot to low heat and let the magic happen for approximately one hour. This slow simmer allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, resulting in meatballs that are tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor.

Serve them up hot as a mouthwatering appetizer at your next gathering, or pair them with your favorite sides for a satisfying meal that’s sure to please even the toughest critics.
