How to Make Bbq Meatballs Crock Pot Style

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Melt 2 tbsp margarine in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion to the skillet and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the sauteed onion to the beef mixture and mix well to combine.
  6. Shape the beef mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a non-stick baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  8. While the meatballs are baking, pour the remaining BBQ sauce (approximately 1 cup) into your slow cooker.
  9. Once baked, gently add the meatballs to the slow cooker, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the sauce.
  10. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 8 hours, stirring occasionally.
