GRANDMA'S BARBECUED COCKTAIL MEATBALLS



Grandma's Barbecued Cocktail Meatballs image

As long as I can remember, my Grandma Audrey made these meatballs on Christmas Eve. A few years back, she shared the recipe with me. These are great for any party, but at my house, Christmas Eve just wouldn't be the same without them! These can be made ahead, and just heated when ready to serve.
