Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together until well combined.
-
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a plate or baking sheet. You should be able to make around 20 meatballs with this recipe.
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, you can prepare the barbecue sauce. In a small saucepan, mix together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce over low heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is heated through.
-
Once the grill is ready, place the meatballs directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meatballs are browned on all sides and cooked through.
-
Brush the meatballs with the barbecue sauce mixture, making sure to coat them evenly. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly.
-
Remove the meatballs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. You can garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired.
-
Serve the barbecued meatballs hot as an appetizer, main dish, or as a delicious addition to your favorite pasta or salad.
