Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Honey BBQ Crockpot Meatballs:

  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey for a lighter version)
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for added flavor)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Meatballs:

  1. Mix the Meatball Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef (or turkey), breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until just combined.
  2. Form the Meatballs: Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them in a single layer in the crockpot. You should have about 24 meatballs.

Prepare the BBQ Sauce:

  1. Combine the Sauce Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika until smooth and well combined.
  2. Coat the Meatballs: Pour the honey BBQ sauce over the meatballs in the crockpot, making sure they are evenly coated.

Cook the Meatballs:

  1. Cook on Low or High: Cover the crockpot with the lid. Cook the meatballs on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, or until the meatballs are cooked through and tender.

Serve the Meatballs:

  1. Garnish and Serve: Once the meatballs are done cooking, garnish them with freshly chopped parsley (optional) and serve hot. These meatballs can be served on their own, with toothpicks as appetizers, or with a side of rice or mashed potatoes for a full meal.
