Main Course: Grilled Meatballs

Servings: 32 Meatballs

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

These are so many ways you can eat these grilled meatballs – stuffed into a bun, rolled in a lettuce wrap or simply served alongside some rice and veggies.

·     ·      

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs or plain oats
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 lbs. ground beef
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoons pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce

Directions for Preparation

  1. Place the breadcrumbs or oats in a large bowl with the milk. Let them soak for five minutes.
  2. Add the beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix well with your hands. Place in the fridge to chill while the grill heats up.
  4. Once the grill is warm, get the meatballs ready.
  5. Shape the meatballs into about 32 balls. Place them on 1-2 cookie sheets or cutting boards to easily carry out to the grill. 
  6. If you have a large grill, place the meatballs on a side with the heat turned off, so they can cook without direct flame.
  7. If you have a small grill, then place the meatballs down onto the grill and then turn down to low.
  8. Close the lid and let cook on low for 10-15 minutes.
  9. Flip the meatballs when they no longer stick to the grill. If they stick, they need to cook a few minutes longer.
  10. Cook for another 15 minutes. Brush with sauce, turn off the heat and close the lid for 5 minutes to let the sauce set.
