Stealthy Mom: BBQ Meatballs (low sodium, gluten free)

BBQ Meatballs

This recipe is easy, so easy that you might never buy frozen meatballs or bottled sauce again. Ten minutes of prep, and an hour in the oven, and you will have sweet and saucy little bites to serve at a Game Day party or for a cozy family dinner.

Per three dozen small meatballs:

1 lb ground grassfed ground beef.
1/2 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder

8oz unsalted tomato sauce, canned or home made
2 tbsp molasses
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp dried onion

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Mix the ground beef, oregano, and teaspoon of garlic powder together. Form small balls, about an inch in diameter, and arrange them in a casserole dish.

Stir together the tomato sauce, molasses, brown sugar, garlic powder and dried onion. Pour it over top of the meatballs. Bake for an hour.
