1 (1 oz) packages dry Ranch-style dressing mix
1/4 Cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 Cups cola
1 Cup chopped onion
1 Cup chopped green bell pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, mix together beef, bread crumbs, egg, grated onion, and ranch dressing mixes, until well blended.

Remove meatballs from baking sheet, and place in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours, then remove lid and cook and additional 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cola: Not all colas are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a cola that has a strong, distinct flavor. Some good options include Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper.
  • Brown the meatballs well: Browning the meatballs gives them a nice caramelized flavor. Be sure to brown them in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
  • Simmer the meatballs in the cola sauce: Simmering the meatballs in the cola sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. Be sure to simmer them for at least 30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
  • Serve the meatballs over rice or noodles: BBQ cola meatballs are a great main course, and they can be served over rice or noodles. They're also a great appetizer, and they can be served with toothpicks.
