BBQ Glazed Meatballs over Mashed Potatoes
Looking for a comforting dinner that combines classic flavors with a delicious twist? These BBQ Glazed Meatballs over Mashed Potatoes are exactly what you need. I've perfected this recipe to create tender, juicy meatballs coated in a sweet and tangy BBQ glaze, all served over creamy mashed potatoes. It's the kind of meal that brings everyone to the table and leaves them asking for seconds.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup finely diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by peeling and cutting potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place in a pot with cold water and a pinch of salt.
- While potatoes are cooking, combine all meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Mix gently with your hands until just combined - don't overmix.
- Form mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs (you should get about 20-24 meatballs).
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned on all sides.
- Meanwhile, whisk together BBQ sauce, honey, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl.
- Pour the BBQ mixture over the meatballs, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and the meatballs are cooked through.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and warm milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve meatballs and BBQ glaze over a generous portion of mashed potatoes.
