Sweet & Savory BBQ Meatballs *

Meatballs:
1 onion, very finely chopped
1 1/2 sleeves saltine crackers, finely crushed
2 pounds ground beef
3 eggs
salt and pepper
3 Tbsp honey mustard
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Sauce:
1/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 cup brown sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In a large bowl, place onion, cracker crumbs, ground beef, 3 eggs, salt and pepper, honey mustard, and 1/2 cup ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce.  Using your hands, mix well.  Line 2 cookie sheets with foil and spray with non stick cooking spray.  Roll the meat into 2 inch balls and lay them out evenly on the trays.  Bake them in the oven for 20 minutes.  While the meatballs are cooking, combine 1/4 cup ketchup. 3/4 cup barbecue sauce, and brown sugar.  When the meatballs have a crispy dark brown exterior, take them out of the oven and drizzle about 2 teaspoons of sauce over each one.  Put back in the oven for 15 minutes to allow the sauce to heat through and get all sticky and wonderful. 

Makes approximately 48 meatballs.
