Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 3/4 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Head Country All-Purpose Championship Seasoning
- 2 eggs from Hansen’s Eggs, beaten
- Head Country Bar-B-Q Sauce
- Sweet and Spicy Sauce (see below)
- Small dinner rolls or Hawaiian sweet bread
- Griffin’s jalapeno mustard (optional)
- Sixth Day Snacks pickled jalapeno slices
For the Sweet and Spicy Sauce:
- 1 jar Garden Club plum jam
- 1 20oz bottle Head Country Bar-B-Q Sauce
Combine ground beef, onion, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, 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, rolling the mixture between your hands to make a ball. Place meatballs in a hot saute pan and cook on medium-high until they’re browned, turning often. Turn heat down to medium and cook until meatballs are cooked through.
Meanwhile, make the Sweet & Spicy Sauce: Combine Garden Club plum jam and Head Country Bar-B-Q Sauce.
Add meatballs to a slow cooker. Pour Sweet & Spicy sauce over the top and toss to coat. Cook on low for 2 hours.
To assemble sliders, add 1 or 2 meatballs to halved rolls topped with coleslaw. Top with jalapeno mustard or pickled jalapeno slices.
