Pineapple Barbecue Cocktail Meatballs
Cocktail meatballs simmered in a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce are perfect as appetizers or for weeknight dinner with rice and vegetables!
- For meatballs:
- 1½ lbs lean ground beef
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- For sauce:
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup barbecue sauce use your favorite brand - I used Sweet Baby Ray's
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with greased aluminum foil.
In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients for meatballs and mix well. Shape into meatballs about 1-inch in diameter. Place meatballs on prepared baking sheets, spacing one inch apart, and bake for 18-20 minutes or until meat is no longer pink.
Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add meatballs, and simmer on low, covered, for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
