Meatballs in a Simple BBQ Sauce
This recipe is scaled as a party or potluck size. I will provide hints at end to make this a bit smaller and geared to a serving size for two people. This should assist in scaling this to your family size.
Originally posted by me on my original food blog (drummingupabettermeal) in June 2015. Total active time in kitchen:
Roughly an hour and most of that is due to batch size, if making this for two servings about 15 minutes active time work needed.
Total Cook time:
Roughly 3 hours. Note the longer that the Meatballs soak in the sauce in the slow cooker the better the flavors.
Serving Size:
2-3 meatballs per person. I had 10 people over after making this the first time and I still have 10 servings left for myself as leftovers.
Sizing this for families:
I would cut the measured ingredients by 4 to serve this for a family of four. You should be roughly coming up with 2-3 meatballs per person and with other sides this should be a good size meal.
Spice Level:
This recipe should be considered spicy for the average person. To reduce the spice level stick with dried ancho or guajillo chiles
