Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, beaten egg, cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion.
  • Add milk mixture to the meat mixture, careful not to overwork ingredients.
  • Greasing hands before starting, form the mixture into desired-size meatballs. Place into the prepared baking dish.
  • Place in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are crisp on the outside.
  • Remove the meatballs from the oven. Carefully discard most of the grease.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, and grape jelly. Pour the sauce over the partially cooked meatballs.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Place the meatballs back into the oven to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Serve warm.
