This makes a great appetizer dish too. Make larger meatballs for a meal. This is great when served with baked potatoes.
Ingredients:
3 lbs. Ground Beef
3/4 cup Milk
1 stack Saltines
3 eggs
1 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, pressed
3/4 teaspoon Paprika
2 teaspoons Salt
1 1/2 cups BBQ Sauce (Sweet Baby Rays)
Assembly:
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. I used my hands to mix. I then use my small cookie scoop to make balls in a 8x11 foil cake pan. This recipe is enough to make 2 pans, so I split it in half for 2 meals. Cover with plastic wrap and foil and freeze.
Pour BBQ sauce in Ziploc bag. Freeze.
To Serve:
Thaw. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes or until heated through.
Variation:
For larger meatballs, approximately 3 tablespoons per meatball, bake at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes after allowing them to thaw. Bake potatoes can cook with these at the same time.
Yield: 60 or more small meatballs per 2 meals.
My kids loved these at asked for more. Not too spicey, but good enough for my spicey loving husband.
ReplyDeleteWe loved these! The kids prefer theirs without sauce, so I just served the sauce on the side. Worked out perfectly. Thanks!
ReplyDeletevery good! We did the sauce on the side. Very good. I took them to a pot luck and I caught some people making sandwiches with them, putting them in their Cincinnati three ways....Great flavor and I loved the small size.
