Baked Barbecue Meatballs

"I needed to use a pound of ground beef I had in the fridge and decided to make some cocktail meatballs using what I had in the fridge. These turned out great! Tangy meatballs with horseradish and sweet barbecue sauce!"

  1. 5 star all the way - I had these instead of my regular Sat. night hamburger and they are GOOD.The only changes I made were: I used lean minced beef mixed half & half with Buffalo, cut the crumbs to 1/2 cup and cut the liquid smoke back to 1/2 tsp and may cut that back a bit more next time. These would be great as patties too for burgers simmered in the BBQ sauce in a fry pan Thanks DeniseH
     
  2. Excellent meatball recipe. These were quite easy to make, and the sauce left them with a nice glaze. I used them to make meatball sandwiches...very good. Next time I'm gonna add more tabasco, and make a pinch or two of cayenne to give that sweet-hot flavor. Thanks for posting this recipe Denise.
     
  3. I minced the onions instead of chopping, and they still didn't soften - so we had meatballs with somewhat crunchy onions. Maybe next time I'll use onion powder. I needed to turn the Crock Pot to high; after nearly an hour the meatballs were only warm. The taste was good, but the Liquid Smoke was strong (and, as suggested, I reduced it). Might tweak this one and try it again.
     
  4. Excellent......I did water down the Barbecue Sauce, and added some ketchup. I am on a low salt diet, that's why I did the above, but the recipe was great.............
     
  5. OMG! I've been making this recipe for years and never said how much we love it! I first made it for a Limo ride to see Xmas lights. BBQ meatballs was something totally new for me. My kids not knowing it was not for them ate all but a few of them! Tonight I am making the again as I do each month. I do not use the liquid smoke since I am allergic to it otherwise everythings the same.
