Description
Delicious and easy Honey BBQ Meatballs that are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ½ cup (50 g) parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup (54 g) fine dry breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- ¼ cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup (280 g) barbecue sauce
- ⅓ cup (113 g) honey
- ⅓ cup (106 g) grape jelly
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, beaten egg, cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- In a medium bowl, combine the milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion.
- Add milk mixture to the meat mixture, careful not to overwork ingredients.
- Greasing hands before starting, form the mixture into desired-size meatballs (We used a heaping 2-tablespoon scoop for each meatball). Place into the prepared baking dish.
- Place in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are crisp on the outside.
- Remove the meatballs from the oven. Carefully discard most of the grease.
- In a medium bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, and grape jelly. Pour the sauce over the partially cooked meatballs.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Place the meatballs back into the oven to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (Cooking times may vary, depending on the size of the meatballs).
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure meatballs are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- Adjust the size of the meatballs to your preference, which may affect cooking time.
