Make the Meatballs

Bake
- Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until meatballs reach 165°F internally.Serve warm, or keep warm in a slow cooker until ready to serve.
Notes
- These meatballs work well as an appetizer or main dish.Meatballs can be made ahead and frozen before or after baking.Sauce flavor can be adjusted by using spicy barbecue sauce or reducing sugar slightly.For slow cooker cooking, bake meatballs first, then transfer with sauce to keep warm.Serve with toothpicks, rice, mashed potatoes, or rolls depending on occasion.
