.

These mouth-watering meatballs were created by Don. He was in the mood for BBQ meatballs one day, so decided to mix and match some ingredients. His effort resulted in this fantastic dish. We serve ours with rice and french-cut green beans. The kids gobble this dinner right up.*

.

1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef

1 cup crushed crackers

1 bottle (18 ounces) barbecue sauce, divided

1 egg, beaten

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

Dash of chili powder

Dash of garlic powder

1 small onion, diced

2 tbsp. butter

.

1. In a large bowl, combine beef, crackers, 2 tbsp. barbecue sauce, egg and seasonings.

2. Melt butter in skillet; saute onion until tender. Add onion to beef mixture and mix well.

3. Shape beef mixture into 1-1/2-inch meatballs and place on lightly greased cookie sheet.

4. Bake at 350º for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned.

5. Pour remaining sauce in crock pot. Add meatballs and stir gently to cover in sauce. Cover and cook on high-heat for 2 hours or on low-heat for 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Yield: 6 servings.

*Useful Tip: These meatballs make excellent meatball subs, too! To make regular meatballs, simply omit the BBQ sauce.
