Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs ground bison
  • 16 oz ground breakfast sausage
  • ½ yellow onion finely chopped
  • ½ c bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ½ c barbeque sauce divided

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400℉. Combine the bison, sausage, chopped onion, bread crumbs, egg and ½ cup barbeque sauce in a large bowl. Mix until well combined. It may be helpful to use your hands to get the ingredients well combined.
    2 lbs ground bison, 16 oz ground breakfast sausage, ½ yellow onion, ½ c bread crumbs, 1 egg, 1 ½ c barbeque sauce
  • Roll the mixture into 2 inch balls or to your desired size. Place them on a baking sheet
  • Brush the tops of the meatballs with BBQ sauce. Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes or until no pink remains in the middle.
    1 ½ c barbeque sauce
  • Optionally garnish the meatballs with parsley. If you are serving as an appetizer, I recommend using these bamboo sticks to make it simple for guests to grab the meatballs!

Notes

Storage: Store the meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Crockpot: These meatballs can be made in the crockpot. Form the balls and place in the crockpot. Pour about ½ cup of the BBQ sauce over the top and cook on high for 2-2 ½ hours until they are no longer pink inside.
