A cast with clean ingredients
Our clean, comfortable dish only requires a handful of simple ingredients that you can feel comfortable about, and it only takes 15 minutes to cook.
First, lean ground beef serves as the backbone of this BBQ meatball dish. However, lean minced meat is sufficient! For example, ground turkey would taste amazing too if you’d rather take the poultry route.
Next, our recipe calls for a BBQ sauce of your choice. We know you have tons of brand options to choose from, some of which are healthier than others. Find out about the nutritional information beforehand and avoid sauces with a high sugar content.
If you have a little more time, you can use ours SkinnyMs. Barbecue sauce is 100% clean and 100% delicious. This fabulous tasting sauce is a no-brainer and goes well with any grill dish and will make you feel great!
This recipe also highlights red potatoes. Red potatoes make a satisfying, nutritious starch with an irresistible buttery taste and texture. Packed with vitamins and potassium, these vegetables can help repair body tissues and boost immunity.
Finally, we lightened the dish by using low-fat Colby Jack cheese instead of full-fat cheese.
The cooking process for our BBQ meatballs
This recipe is super easy to follow and really fun! After you’ve whipped the meatballs, divide your baking dish into two sections and place the meatballs on one half. Then prepare your potatoes and place them on the other half, sprinkling cheese on top. Finally, put your creation in the oven for about 25-30 minutes and drizzle the remaining BBQ sauce over the meatballs. Let’s go – your hearty and delicious stew is ready to serve!
Although meatballs often work with spaghetti, they may go even better with potatoes. We also have to admit that the chewy, flavourful meatballs versus the rich, butter-red potatoes make a droolable duo.

If you have leftovers, put them in the freezer or enjoy them for lunch the next day! All in all, this recipe makes a quick, yet hearty dinner that will devour the whole family.
