Best Ever Skillet BBQ Meatballs
This BBQ Meatballs recipe is one of my “go-to’s” when I need a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Using simple ingredients you likely already have on hand, and a quick cook time, these homemade meatballs are a big hit with moms and kids alike!
Ingredients
- 1 pound of lean ground beef
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup panko or bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 cups of your favorite bbq sauce
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Next, place the first eight ingredients (everything except the bbq sauce) into a large bowl and use your hands to combine the meatball ingredients gently.
- Using a scoop or your hands, shape the meatball mixture into 1.5-inch balls. Place the raw meatballs on your baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake the meatballs for 10-12 minutes - until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Carefully place the cooked meatballs in a large skillet, add the barbecue sauce, and gently stir until the meatballs are completely covered in the sauce. Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce is heated through.
Notes
If you have any leftover meatballs, they can be stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 days or up to two months in the freezer.
