Ingredients

Meatballs

  • lbs ground beef
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 18 ounce BBQ sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Coleslaw

  • 10 ounces coleslaw mix red &white cabbage, carrots
  • cup mayonnaise
  • 4 tsp white vinegar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

  • In large mixing bowl combine the ground beef, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined. Then using hands continue to mix to ensure all ingredients are incorporated. Separate the meat mixture and using hands roll into balls that are about 1 inch in diameter. Set aside. Continue until all meat is in balls.
  • Heat a large saucepan over medium heat, pour oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Place the meatballs in the pan and cook, turning the meatballs periodically to ensure all sides are cooked. Pour half the KC Masterpiece Sweet Honey and Molasses Barbecue Sauce in the slow cooker, and once the meatballs are cooked (don't worry about making sure they are cooked all the way, just as long as the outside is seared) place them in the slow cooker. Cover with the remainder of the KC Masterpiece Sweet Honey and Molasses Barbecue Sauce.
  • Cook on low heat for 4-6 hours.

Coleslaw

  • In small bowl add the mayonnaise, white vinegar, salt, onion powder, and sugar. Stir to combine, will be a smooth mixture.
  • Add the coleslaw mix to a medium size bowl. Pour the liquid mixture over the coleslaw and toss to coat all of the coleslaw with the sauce.
  • Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • To assemble sandwiches use French Rolls. Spoon coleslaw onto the roll and then meatballs. Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce as desired.
