It's hard to say what exactly makes our ground beef and pork meatballs so zippy. Could be the A.1. Could be the smoky BBQ sauce.

bottle (18 oz.) KRAFT THICK 'N SPICY Hickory Smoke Barbecue Sauce

Make It

HEAT oven to 375°F.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make Ahead

Meatballs can be baked in advance; cool completely. Place in freezer-weight resealable plastic bag; seal bag. Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator before placing in the slow cooker and cooking with sauce as directed.

Note

For less heat, use only half the jalapeño pepper.

Special Extra

For added zing, prepare using KRAFT Sweet & Spicy Chipotle Barbecue Sauce.
