GRANDMA'S BARBECUED COCKTAIL MEATBALLS
As long as I can remember, my Grandma Audrey made these meatballs on Christmas Eve. A few years back, she shared the recipe with me. These are great for any party, but at my house, Christmas Eve just wouldn't be the same without them! These can be made ahead, and just heated when ready to serve.

BAKED BARBECUED GLAZED MEATBALLS
You could just cook the meatballs in the sauce although you will experience grease in the sauce, it is better to pre-cook them first --- please adjust the amount of brown sugar, you might want to start with only 1/2 cup and add in more to taste --- this is *very* good!

- Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meatball mixture. This will help to bind the meatballs together and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Season the meatball mixture well with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to flavor the meatballs throughout.
- Chill the meatball mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the meatballs to hold their shape better.
- Cook the meatballs over medium heat until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the meatballs will not cook evenly.
