    What I love about this BBQ Meatballs recipe is that you can use any type of mince that you like. This recipe works well using pork mince, beef mince or of course chicken mince which I have used in this recipe.

    I like to serve this recipe with a side of plain rice and some greens, but you could serve with a crunchy coleslaw too! You could also cook these in the slow cooker to make this recipe even easier.
