A sweet-and-spicy sauce and a little time in a slow cooker transforms homemade meatballs in this recipe that’s perfect for the watch-party snack table or a hands-on dinner. Serve with a buffet of sauce flavors so everyone can make these sliders their own.
For the Sweet and Spicy 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.
