SWEET BBQ MEATBALLS
I know tons of people that make this for parties and get-togethers and they are always a hit because they are so good and easy! I wanted to make this to, so between internet searching and my sister-in-law this is what I came up with. My sister-in-law said she adds water but I like the sauce to be thicker, so this can be up to you. Since it is going into the slow cooker, it is going to loosen up as it cooks anyways. Note: Everything will fit into a 2 quart slow cooker.

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl add the ground beef, eggs, minced garlic, and finely diced onion. Combine and roll into balls that are about the size of a golf ball. Set aside.
- 2. In a medium bowl, add brown sugar, ketchup, teriyaki sauce, bbq sauce, liquid smoke, honey mustard, molasses, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well, cover and set aside for later.
- 3. place the meatballs in a crockpot on high and let cook till almost done (about 2 hours). Add the bbq sauce and mix so all meatballs are covered. Let it cook till bbq sauce gets really thick. (about 2 more hours). Serve and enjoy! If there are any left over I chop them up and make baked beans with them..yummm!!
- 4. The first time I made these were as an appetizer for a party and I blindly made them hoping they would be good just for the sake of something different. Everyone loved them and came back for more. After 5 yrs that is the main request I get for parties :)
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh ground beef, sweet onion, and garlic will make a big difference in the taste of your meatballs.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Brown the meatballs before simmering them in the sauce. Browning the meatballs gives them a nice crust and helps to keep them from falling apart in the sauce.
- Use a good quality BBQ sauce. The BBQ sauce is the key to the flavor of these meatballs, so be sure to use one that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
- Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through. This will help the meatballs to absorb the flavor of the sauce.
- Serve the meatballs hot, with additional BBQ sauce, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
These sweet BBQ meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a casual weeknight meal. With their sweet and tangy flavor, these meatballs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
