Whiskey Peach BBQ Meatballs made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup peach preserves
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup whiskey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through and browned on the outside.
  • While the meatballs are baking, combine the peach preserves, BBQ sauce, and whiskey in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and add them to the sauce, tossing to coat.
  • Serve the Whiskey Peach BBQ Meatballs hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
