Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 lb Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs. You should end up with approximately 24 meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and sear them on all sides until they are browned but not fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove the browned meatballs and set them aside.
Spread 1 cup of barbecue sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the seared meatballs in a single layer on top of the sauce.
Pour the remaining 1 cup of barbecue sauce over the meatballs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sauce to slightly caramelize.
Let the meatballs cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy!
