1/4

cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

tsp. garlic powder

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Mix all ingredients just until blended.

BAKE 20 min. or until cooked through.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make Ahead

Bake meatballs as directed; cool. Pack loosely in large freezer-weight resealable plastic bags. Place in freezer with bags laying flat so that meatballs will freeze individually. Store in freezer up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator several hours or overnight.

Meatless Variation

Prepare as directed, substituting 4 pouches (1 cup each) thawed frozen BOCA Ground Crumbles for the ground beef. Reduce baking time to 10 to 12 min. or until "meatballs" are heated through.

I halved the recipe and it still made enough for 2 dinners (for 3 people.) We didn't like the taste of the BBQ sauce when paired with spaghetti, but agreed it would make a great appetizer meatball. I will try using pasta sauce or spaghetti sauce next time instead of the bbq when making spaghetti & meatballs. Loved the texture!

Great recipe. Also works great for grilled meatloaf burgers. Just add 2 cups Kraft cheese crumbles to this recipe and grill. A fav with my family.

I really loved this recipe, thank you for the advise on freezing these, it saves alot of time and easy to prepare for a meal.

I used Italian ground sausage instead of ground beef and they turned out delicioius.

This was so easy to make and tasted very yummy! I did not use the bbq sauce. Instead I used Kraft Italian Dressing. Also I added a lot of minced garlic and spices.I would use a glass pan and spray pam on the bottom so the meat balls won't stick. I will make this recipe again!

The meatballs are very good! I substituted spagetti sauce instead of barbeque and they tasted much better! I make these all the time instead of buying frozen and you can play around with what spices you want to add or sauces depending on the dish you are making them with! But overall... Very Delicious!

I have made this a couple times and everyone loves them. I didn't make this with the BBQ sauce. I used worcestershire sauce and added some cayenne pepper. It was really good!
