All jokes aside guys, this recipe is absolutely fantastic, you gotta try it. But before we jump into it, please take a quick second to subscribe to the channel. Make sure to hit that bell and enable notifications as well. Alright, let's get in the kitchen and make it happen. We're gonna start with chopping up a half cup of fresh parsley. You want to dice it real fine like so. Nice small pieces. Fresh parsley adds a pop of color and some good freshness to your meatballs. Next we're going to grate one onion. So go ahead and peel it and then break out your cheese grater or big box grater like you see here. And then we're actually going to shred the onion into very small pieces. This way the onion just really absorbs into the meatball and you don't have big chunks of onion in there. This is a technique for meatballs. I highly suggest you guys give it a try. Might bring a tear to your eye though. Anyone got a tissue? Alright, now that the waterworks are over, we're gonna go ahead and get our mixing bowl ready and add one pound of ground pork and one pound of ground 80-20 beef. If you're not into pork, you can use all beef or turkey. Whatever you like here is fine. Chicken would work also. We're gonna season it with a little salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, and some hamburger seasoning. Next we're going in with one whole box of boursin garlic and herb cheese, followed by that grated onion and that parsley, and one to two tablespoons of minced garlic or garlic paste, and about a half cup of shredded parmesan cheese. Next we're adding in two tablespoons of sour cream. This adds a nice creaminess to your meatballs and helps them stay moist as well. Nothing worse than a dry meatball. Now this is where these black gloves really come in handy because you want to get in here with your hands and just really make sure all of these ingredients are evenly dispersed throughout. So it's kind of like kneading dough or bread dough. Get in there with your hands and just fold it in. It's going to take a few minutes. Overall though, this is a very simple recipe and hopefully this is enough to get you guys to stop buying those frozen meatballs because these are 100% better, guys. I can't wait for you to try it. Let me know what your favorite way to make meatballs is in the comments below. Always interested to hear how you guys put your own spin on things. So once you've got all of the ingredients well combined, we're going to go in with two eggs and about three cups of bread crumbs total. You want to add them a little bit at a time though. So I would say add half right now, then get in there and fold everything together, and then you'll add your other half here in just a minute. Make sure that egg is mixed in also, and you'll start to see it kind of take shape. So you're looking for this to almost turn into one big meatball. Just keep folding. The bread crumbs and the egg really bind everything together. Once you've added that, you'll start to see it really taking shape. Going in with the other half of bread crumbs here, fold that in as well. Now you can see the meatball mixture has really taken some shape here. You can start working it with one hand. Looking good. Once it's where you want it, you'll be able to pick it up with one hand and it'll hold together like so. Next, you want to get a aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Spray that down with some cooking oil. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, and then take a big spoon or an ice cream scoop or whatever you have and roll your meatballs out. Try to make sure they're all about the same size. These are all about one to one and a half ounces or so, but you can make them as big as you want. Repeat that process until all of your meatballs are formed and even, and then we're going to sprinkle them with a little bit more of that McCormick's hamburger seasoning, and then pop them in that 400 degree oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they reach about 160 degrees internal temperature. Those are some good looking meatballs going in the oven. While those are in the oven baking, we're going to go ahead and start on our sauce. I'm going in with one cup of your favorite barbecue sauce. This is by Blue's Hog here, but use whatever your favorite is, and one fourth cup of blueberry preserves. You can also use grape jelly, and two to three tablespoons of honey. You want to simmer this over low heat just to kind of warm it up so you're not putting warm meatballs in a cold sauce. You can also do this Italian style and serve these with some marinara sauce, or along with some spaghetti, whatever your favorite way to do it is. These are the preserves that I'm using for this recipe. Again, you can use grape jelly also. Once that's worked in and simmered away, we're going to add in that brown sugar. Whisk that in as well. Meatballs are done, looking amazing. Now it's time to give them the best bath they've ever had, going in that delicious sauce that we made. If you want to do this in the crock pot, you can make your meatballs as you saw me do here in the oven. Put those in the crock pot and then add the sauce ingredients and just put that on low and let them, you know, stay simmering away, stay warm if you're going to a party or a baby shower or something like that. Man, those look good. That's definitely food porn. All right, brace yourselves for the trademark money shot. We've plated them up. We're going to hit them with a little bit more of that barbecue glaze. Oh man, heavy on the food porn again, guys. It's the holidays. Make sure you make these meatballs. Let me know what you think in the comments. You know I gotta hit them with a little bit of chopped green onion just for a pop of color. Remember, you eat with your eyes first and you know I gotta try one. I think that says it all, guys. Hope you enjoy the recipe. If you do, give me a thumbs up. Make sure you subscribe to the channel.
