Description

When you need to make a really quick meal, this bbq meatballs recipe works and it does not under deliver on taste. Serves 6.

Ingredients

• 1 lb of beef mince (use only premium mince)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 tablespoons of ketchup
• 1 cup of bottled bbq sauce (homemade or from the supermarket)
• 1 cup of breadcrumbs

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl combine the minced beef, garlic powder, egg, onion, salt, pepper and dried breadcrumbs. Combine all the ingredients thoroughly with your hands so you mix them well. Start by using only about half of the breadcrumbs and egg to see how well the mixture binds together. Take level tablespoonfuls of mince mixture and roll into evenly shaped balls.
2. Brush a preheated BBQ plate or grill with oil. When the plate is hot enough, cook the meatballs for about 6-8 minutes, moving them around occasionally to cook them properly until browned. Remove from the heat and pour some of the bbq sauce and ketchup just before the end of the cooking process.
3. Transfer the meatballs to a serving plate and pour some more of the bbq sauce and ketchup over the meatballs so they are well coated.
