Instructions:

Homemade Meatballs

1. In a large bowl, combine 2 thin slices of cubed bread with 1/4cup/60ml milk, 1 grated medium onion, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce and 2 grated garlic cloves. Give a mush with a fork and allow the bread to soak up the moisture (around 5mins or so).
2. Add 1/2cup/35g parmesan, 1 egg, 3/4 tsp smoked paprika and salt, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper and black pepper. Give it a good stir to combine.
3. Add 7oz/200g pork and 10.5oz/300g beef and very gently combine. Don't overwork the meat or the meatballs will come out chewy.
4. Use a 1 tbsp measuring spoon to scoop out the meat and place on a chopping board. Once all scooped out, roll each chunk of meat into meatballs.
5. Add a drizzle of oil to a 12" skillet and add meatballs. Fry over medium heat for about 10mins, or until nicely browned on the outside and just cooked through the centre, turning frequently. Remove from skillet when done.

BBQ Meatballs

1. Add garlic and fry until golden in the leftover grease (drain away some if there is more than about 2tbsp). Pour in 1/3cup/80ml beef stock and scrape at flavour stuck to the pan and allow to reduce for 5mins.
2. Pour in 1/2cup/120ml BBQ Sauce, 1 tsp honey and Worcestershire and seasoning to taste. Stir to combine, then add back in your meatballs (with any leftover juices). Coat your meatballs in the sauce.

Cheesy BBQ Meatballs

1. Clump the meatballs together in the centre of the pan and make sure all the sauce is poured over. Sprinkle over 1cup/100g cheese (or more if you desire) and pop under the grill and broil until golden and gooey. Sprinkle over chilli and onion!
