Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 can (14-1/2 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1-1/2 cups KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce, divided
2 lb. extra-lean ground beef
2 eggs, beaten
25 unsalted tops saltine crackers, finely crushed (about 1 cup)
1 cup KRAFT Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Steps:

Heat oven to 375ºF.
Combine tomatoes, onion powder and 3/4 cup barbecue sauce in slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray; cover with lid. Cook on HIGH until ready to add the meatballs.
Meanwhile, cover 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil; spray with cooking spray. Mix meat, eggs, cracker crumbs, cheese and remaining barbecue sauce just until blended. Shape into 72 small meatballs, using about 1 Tbsp. meat mixture for each meatball. Place on prepared baking sheets. Bake 15 min. or until done.
Add meatballs to slow cooker; stir to evenly coat with sauce. Reduce heat to LOW to keep meatballs warm until ready to serve right from the slow cooker.
