Preheat the oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine ground beef with the barbecue seasoning, pepper, and salt, then mix together.
1 cup ground beef, 1/2 Tbsp BBQ seasoning, 1 tsp pepper, ½ tsp salt
Add the large egg, minced garlic and parmesan cheese to the seasoned ground beef.
1 egg, 1 tsp minced garlic, ¼ cup parmesan cheese
Stir the meatball mixture until all the ingredients are well combined.
Roll out 1-inch sized meatballs and place on a foil lined baking sheet in a single layer.
To make the sauce, just mix the Italian dressing and your favorite barbecue sauce together until smooth.
⅓ cup barbecue sauce, ⅓ cup italian dressing
Using a basting brush or a small spoon, add a little of the barbecue mix on top of the raw meatballs before placing them in the oven.
Bake for 10 minutes, then brush another large spoonful of barbecue sauce over each meatball.
Place the barbecue meatballs back in the oven and cook for another 10 minutes, increasing the oven temperature to 375°.
Remove the baked meatballs from the oven and serve with the leftover Italian barbecue sauce. Add toothpicks to serve as an appetizer!

Don’t overmix the meat mixture or it could cause your meatballs to be tough and dense.
