Meatballs in Barbecue Sauce
One of my make ahead dinner dishes are meatballs. I can make them ahead when I’m meal prepping on Sunday and during the week, I can decide to serve them with any sauce I like. My kids of course love any sauce that is like sweet and sour sauce. I usually always make a batch of barbecue sauce in the summer with the sour cherries that we pick and it is perfect served with the meatballs. But, you don’t need a homemade sauce, any store bought barbecue sauce will work just fine and taste great.
I have noticed that a lot of meatball recipes use breadcrumbs and milk as a filler and to make them softer in texture. In the Asian culture, we don’t add these fillers so I prefer my meatballs without them. They are purely made from ground beef and pork and seasonings. We really enjoy the meatier texture as the softer texture sometimes seems too mushy or too much like meatloaf to me.
These meatballs work great as an appetizer. Imagine cute little toothpicks in them. But they also work great as a main dish and served with rice.
