Sweet, tangy and smoky, these Honey BBQ Meatballs are easy to make and a sure crowd pleaser. Serve them as an appetizer or pile them onto a bun for a tasty sandwich!
Combine meatball ingredients until well mixed. Form into meatballs.
In a large frying pan, heat a thin layer of oil. Add meatballs and cook until browned on first side, about 4-5 minutes. Loosen meatballs if needed, then turn over. Cover and continue heating until cooked through, about 5 more minutes. (You can confirm doneness with an instant read meat thermometer.)
Remove meatballs from pan and keep warm. Drain all but a tablespoon or two of fat, then add the honey to the pan with the meatballs to liquify. Deglaze the pan with the honey, scraping up any loose bits of crisp meat.
When the honey is bubbly, combine the smoked paprika (if using) and BBQ sauce then add to the pan. Stir until the sauce is blended. Add the meatballs back to the pan.
