Steps:
- Mix all of the meatball ingredients together and form your meatballs.
- Heat a large frying pan with a little oil and gently, one by one, add in the meatballs.
- After they cook for about 4 minutes, flip the meatballs and cook an additional 4 minutes. Once they're cooked on the outside, they should be a little less delicate. Making sure none are stuck to the bottom, start tossing them in the pan a little more to cook them evenly. Drain most of the fat, leaving a few tablespoons' worth in the pan.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water to deglaze the pan, scraping up any stuck-on pieces. Add the brown sugar, adding a little more water if the pan looks too dry.
- The sauce should start to bubble and look like dark caramel.
- Remove from heat and add in the barbecue sauce. Stir well.

Tips:
- Use a combination of ground beef and pork: This will give your meatballs a more flavorful and tender texture.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing will make the meatballs tough.
- Use panko breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs will help to keep the meatballs moist and juicy.
- Brown the meatballs before glazing them: This will help to lock in the flavor and prevent the meatballs from drying out.
- Use a thick glaze: A thick glaze will help to coat the meatballs evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Bake the meatballs at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the glaze and give the meatballs a crispy exterior.
- Serve the meatballs hot: Sweet glazed meatballs are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
