I had some barbecue sausage balls (or meatballs) at a wedding this past weekend. They were soooo good. Anyone have a good recipe? Are they easy to make? TIA!

Barbecue Meatballs


Meatballs
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 pound bulk pork sausage
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cups dry bread crumbs
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar or lemon juice
1 heaping tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper



Mix all ingredients for meatballs. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Place in a large baking pan in a single layer and cook at 350° degrees for about 30 minutes or until browned. Remove and drain off excess fat.
Meanwhile, prepare sauce. Cook 1/4 cup chopped onion in oil until tender. Add remaining sauce ingredients. Simmer 10 minutes. Place meatballs in a crock pot. Pour sauce over, cover, and keep on LOW setting for serving.
Makes about 5 dozen meatballs.

Barbecued Mini Meatballs

1 pound hamburger
1 egg
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup milk
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
2 tablespoons oil
12 ounces chili sauce or ketchup
8 ounces grape jelly
1 1/2 tablespoons dijon mustard

In large bowl, combine extra lean ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, onion, milk, garlic and chili powder; mix well.

Shape into about 45 1-inch balls.

In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until oil sizzles, about 1 minute. Add meatballs. Brown on all sides.

In small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Add to meatballs. Stir gently to coat meatballs. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cook covered until meatballs are done through and through.

You can put them in a crockpot and cook on low until ready to serve
