How To Make Sheet Pan BBQ Meatballs

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set this aside.
2. In your bowl, you���ll want to combine all your meatball ingredients. That���s your ground beef, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, milk and egg. Now get in there with both hands and mix well.
3. Once completely combined, start making those balls. Aim for about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place each one on your sheet pan.
4. Pop your meatballs in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. While these bad boys are baking, grab a bowl and mix your sauce ingredients together.
5. After 15 minutes, take your meatballs out of the oven and brush each one with your prepared sauce. Once you���re done, put them back in your oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until they���re fully cooked.
6. Once they’re done cooking, let them cool a little bit and then serve them up warm. Enjoy!
