  • ½ small onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • Using your hands or a spoon, mix the ground beef mixture until everything is well combined.
  • Roll the ground meat mixture into 2 tablespoon-sized balls and place in a baking dish.
  • Pour the jar of BBQ sauce over the meatballs.
  • Bake the meatballs for 40-45 minutes. Once finished, let the meatballs cool slightly, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a different protein - ground chicken, ground turkey, ground pork - ANY ground protein will work great here!
