  • Season the meatballs generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as onion powder, paprika, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Mix the bread crumbs, eggs, and milk together in a bowl. This will help to bind the meatballs together.
  • Form the meatballs into 1-inch balls. Make sure they are packed tightly so they don't fall apart when cooking.
  • Cook the meatballs in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the barbecue sauce. Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the barbecue sauce and stir to coat. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the meatballs over rice or pasta, or with a side of grilled vegetables.
