Savory Meatballs

Ingredients

Savory Meatball Recipe

1 lb. ground beef

1lb. ground pork sausage

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup plain dry breadcrumbs or crushed crackers

3 tablespoons milk

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon seasoned salt, such as Lawry's brand

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

18 ounce bottle barbecue sauce

Directions

In the bowl of your electric mixer or in a large glass bowl, add all of your meatball ingredients except for the barbecue sauce.

Mix your meat mixture on low until it is all combined.

Form your meatball mixture into 1 inch balls.

Chill your meatballs for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them to hold together while being cooked.

In a heavy bottomed Dutch oven or cast-iron pan, add 2 teaspoons of avocado oil on medium high heat.

Add 1 inch balls of your meat mixture to the preheated pan and sear the meatballs on all sides.

Transfer your meatballs to a lightly greased 9 x 13 casserole dish.

Drizzle the barbecue sauce over the meatballs until they are covered and cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil.

Preheat your oven to 400°F and bake your meatballs for 15 minutes.

Remove the aluminum foil and bake another 10 minutes, making sure that the barbecue sauce doesn't burn. Enjoy!
