Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (or turkey, for a lighter option)
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Bread crumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups BBQ sauce
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, egg, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter. This should yield about 20 meatballs.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the meatballs to the skillet and sear until they are golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Once the meatballs are browned, remove excess oil from the skillet, if necessary.
In a small bowl, mix the BBQ sauce with water. Pour the sauce over the meatballs, ensuring they are fully covered.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is bubbling.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with extra BBQ sauce if desired. Enjoy!
