How to Make Bbq Meatballs Crock Pot Style
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 cup crushed saltine crackers, 2 tbsp BBQ sauce, 1 large egg, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Melt 2 tbsp margarine in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onion to the skillet and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sauteed onion to the beef mixture and mix well to combine.
- Shape the beef mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a non-stick baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- While the meatballs are baking, pour the remaining BBQ sauce (approximately 1 cup) into your slow cooker.
- Once baked, gently add the meatballs to the slow cooker, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the sauce.
- Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 8 hours, stirring occasionally.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
