Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 2 lbs. extra lean ground beef
  • ¾ cups seasoned dried bread crumbs
  • ½ cup minced onion
  • cup Guinness beer
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Sauce

  • ½ tablespoon oil
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

  • ½ cup barbeque sauce
  • ½ cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375℉. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
