These BBQ meatballs were a huge hit at our annual Halloween party. The meatballs can be assembled and refrigerated up to 24 hours prior to baking. In fact, Miata Guy made the raw meatballs the night before the party. Then prior to the start of the party he allowed the raw meatballs to come to room temperature while he mixed up the sauce. The right combination of spicy and sweet in this homemade sauce resulted in these meatballs disappearing very quickly!
The original recipe was taken from Allrecipe.com (BBQ Glazed Homemade Meatballs)
Step one- Lightly grease a medium/large baking dish and preheat oven to 375.

Step three- Form into 1 inch balls and arrange in a single layer in the baking dish. Should be around 24ish meatballs
Step four- In a medium bowl mix the following ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup (don't worry the spices hide any hints that ketchup was the base in this sauce)
- 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 Tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring (Don't skip this one! Seriously! Don't even think about!)
Step five- Pour/spread mixture evenly over meatballs
