Ingredients
- 1 pound package extra lean ground beef or turkey, see shopping tips
- ¼ cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 large egg or 2 egg whites
- ½ cup onions, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1½ cups onions, diced
- 1 (18 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce, I used Sweet Baby Rays, or use your favorite
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (add ⅛ teaspoon more if you like a bit of kick)
Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Using clean hands, mix all the ingredients and form 24 small meatballs, about ⅛ cup each (2 tablespoons)
2. To cook 1½ cups onions for sauce: cook in microwave for 2-3 minutes to soften.
3. Pour barbecue sauce into crock-pot. Add softened onions and mix well. Drop meatballs into sauce. Mix around to cover completely with sauce. Set crock-pot to low, 6 hours or on high heat 3 hours.
