For extra flavor, try browning the meatballs in a skillet before baking. This will add a delicious crust and enhance the overall taste.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meatball mixture or use a spicy barbecue sauce.
These meatballs are also fantastic when simmered in a slow cooker. Simply place the baked meatballs and barbecue sauce in the slow cooker and cook on low for 2-3 hours.
For a lighter option, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.
Serve these meatballs as an appetizer with toothpicks, or as a main course with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
