- Combine ground beef, onion, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, Head Country seasoning and eggs, mixing well and incorporating. If mixture feels dry, add Head Country Bar-B-Q Sauce until it becomes easy to form meatballs.
- Form meatballs using a tbsp, then roll the mixture between your hands to make a ball. Line on a cookie sheet until they are all rolled. Place meatballs in a hot saut pan, cooking on medium-high heat until they’re browned. After 5 minutes, turn to brown both sides. Turn heat down to medium, and cook until meatballs are cooked through. This will depend on the size of your pan and size of your meatballs. Check for doneness. Sweet and Spicy Sauce

- Around the holidays, Suan’s Scotch Bonnet Pepper Jelly should be a pantry staple. When family or friends drop by, set out a block of cream cheese topped with pepper jelly, and you have an instant appetizer.
