Using local meats really enhances the flavor of these meatballs! A smaller meatball can be made as an appetizer portion and held warm in a crockpot. I use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform size. These meatballs freeze like a dream-raw or cooked. I usually make a big batch so I have a stash for a future date with no hassle!

Preheat oven to 350°F
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until evenly combined, about 3-5 minutes by hand.
Portion mixture into roughly the size of a golf ball, and place on a cooking sheet with edges to catch the juices from cooking over.
Cook for 23-28 minutes. Meatballs should be done all the way through (no pink) and have some browning on top.
Heat Durant BBQ sauce in a pan, and glaze the tops of the meatballs with a generous portion.
Enjoy!
