Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 whole Eggs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, golf-ball-sized meatballs. Place them on a large plate or tray.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, searing them on all sides until browned. This should take 5-7 minutes per batch. Set the browned meatballs aside on a clean plate.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add the barbecue sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and water. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, turning them gently to coat them in the sauce. Cover the skillet and let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the skillet from heat.
Serve the meatballs warm, garnished with chopped parsley (optional). They pair wonderfully with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
