Ingredients

2 cups barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon loosely packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
One 25-count bag All-Purpose Meatballs (still frozen is fine), recipe follows
Mashed potatoes, for serving
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving
Green salad, for serving
5 pounds ground beef
1 1/2 cups plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the barbecue sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, hot sauce and Worcestershire and bring to a boil. Add the All-Purpose Meatballs and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the meatballs are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.
Spoon over mashed potatoes and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with a green salad.
To make the meatballs, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, cream, parsley, mustard, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Mix together well with your hands. Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions and roll them into balls with your hands. Place the meatballs onto parchment-lined baking sheets and put the baking sheets in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes for the meatballs to firm up.
To brown the meatballs, heat the olive oil in a heavy pot or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook, turning the meatballs to make sure they brown all over, 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
Freezer instructions: Put the cooked meatballs in a single layer on baking sheets and put into the freezer. When frozen, divide them into freezer bags, 25 per bag, and return them to the freezer. Yield: 125 meatballs.

Tips

Use a variety of meats. Ground beef, pork, lamb, or turkey can all be used to make meatballs. Using a combination of meats will give your meatballs a more complex flavor.
Soak the bread crumbs in milk. This will help the bread crumbs to absorb the liquid and make the meatballs more tender.
Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough.
Cook the meatballs thoroughly. Meatballs should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce. Meatballs can be served with a variety of sauces, such as tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, or gravy.
