These savory BBQ glazed meatballs are a delightful twist on a classic favorite, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your meatballs.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the meatballs tough.
Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut, and place them on a baking sheet.
Using slightly damp hands can help prevent the mixture from sticking.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
Check for doneness by cutting into one meatball to ensure it's no longer pink inside.
Transfer the baked meatballs to a crock pot and pour the barbecue sauce over them.
Ensure all meatballs are evenly coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Cook on low heat in the crock pot for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even heating.
Serve the meatballs warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve with toothpicks for a party appetizer or over rice for a main course.
