Great flavor, easy to make. My friends loved it.
No changes. Loved it
I helped my son make this for his Christmas party and they turned out great. We followed the recipe almost exactly; used green onions and Italian bread crumbs. Since he had extra time before the party, we tossed them into the crockpot after the first round in the oven. I sliced a couple and they were fully cooked anyway so we set it to low and let them be, (in the bbq sauce of course), for a couple hours before he left.
I’ll make it again but they’re rather dull as is. I’ll add some worchestire, liquid smoke and more seasonings next time
Made these for a potluck and used lady Diana original barbecue sauce & it was a huge hit! I cooked the meatballs in the oven for 20 minutes and then placed them in my slow cooker with the bbq sauce and cooked for another 20 then kept them warm
I made it replacing the breadcrumbs with a sleeve of Ritz. Crumbled them all up. Fantastic recipe!
25 min in oven, take out, use basting brush for bbq sauce, put back in for only 10 more min to heat the bbq, any longer it will dry out the meatballs. 25 min – 35 min way to long
These are so good!! Not crumbly or too soft. I did mine in a crock pot on high for 4 hours instead of in the oven. I also tried in the oven with a few that didn’t fit in my crockpot. They got dry but I didn’t put any sauce on them so it makes sense. Overall these are super easy and delicious.
Awesome Super Bowl appetizers… Instead of doing 1 bottle of BBQ sauce- i did 1/2 bottle BBQ sauce &1/2 bottle of Apple grill sauce… Definitely nice mix with these meatball
I think this is a good base that you can easily customize. I put a little BBQ sauce in the meat mixture and subbed seasoned salt for the regular salt. I also cut down on the cooking time after adding BBQ sauce since I think that was too long and would dry them out. I only did about 10 more minutes and the meatballs were delicious served over mac and cheese.
Great recipe. Will make again. Only thing I did differently was add some cheddar cheese. Delicious!
That was yummy and easy to make. I did make a few changes, skipped the milk and used Trader Joe’s Korean barbecue sauce, put a bit of siriacha into the meat mixture, since I like things pretty spicy.
Great Meatballs! I substituted 1 T. minced onion and Panko crumbs, because I was lazy and they turned out awesome!
This was great! I used gluten free bread crumbs and subbed egg with oil/water/baking powder due to allergies in our house. I also used marinara instead of BBQ sauce!!
Cook on aluminum foil on a baking sheet. You’ll be glad you did come clean up time. Very tasty recipe!
turn out really will
This is a keeper. I didn’t have an onion, so I used Lipton Onion Soup Mix instead, and it worked great. I will be making this again. Thanks!
Great the only thing I did different was did half ground meat and half ground turkey. I really enjoyed my meatballs on Super Sunday.
Simple, easy, and very tasty. Mom approved and she is finicky.
Great meatballs! I made this recipe twice and used Korean BBQ sauce. I used more onions and the meatballs turned out fantastic.
I decided to make this because i needed a basic meatball recipe for my Dad’s left over jelly meatball sauce. It’s so yummy I actually saved it from a family get together 3 days ago (my husband thought i was crazy to take home sauce without meatballs lol) So I made these and instead of putting the BBQ sauce overtop, I reused Dad’s jelly meatball sauce! I really think a good sauce can make all the difference in a basic meatball recipe such as this one. It was really tasty! 🙂 btw i think the jelly meatball sauce is a Best of Bridge recipe if you want to try it too
