Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 pounds extra lean ground beef
– 1/2 cup uncooked quick oats
– 1/4 cup dry red wine
– 1/4 cup liquid egg whites
– 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 tbsp dried oregano
– 1 tbsp Kosher salt
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 1 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the meat, eggs, garlic, parsley, oregano, onions, salt and pepper. In a small bowl, soften the oats with the wine for 10 minutes Add the oats and wine to the meat mixture and mix well – you will need to do this with your hands in order to get everything incorporated well. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Shape meatball mixture into sixty 1-inch balls; place on baking sheet.
Bake at 350ºF until cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer meatballs to a crock pot to keep warm. Meanwhile, heat barbecue sauce and beef broth over medium-high heat until hot. Pour sauce over cooked meatballs, toss gently and serve. For parties, I just set the crock pot up on the food table, set on warm.
