Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, beaten egg, cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- In a medium bowl, combine the milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion.
- Add milk mixture to the meat mixture, careful not to overwork ingredients.
- Greasing hands before starting, form the mixture into desired-size meatballs. Place into the prepared baking dish.
- Place in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are crisp on the outside.
- Remove the meatballs from the oven. Carefully discard most of the grease.
- In a medium bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, and grape jelly. Pour the sauce over the partially cooked meatballs.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Place the meatballs back into the oven to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
