For the meatballs
- 1 lb. ground pork
- 1 tsp granulated sugar substitute (honey for Paleo)
- 1 tsp paprika (smoked if you have it)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

- 1 Tbsp dried onion flakes
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar substitute (honey for Paleo)
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp low sugar ketchup
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start the sauce first so the flavors have time to develop while you are making the meatballs.
For the sauce
- Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan, stirring until smooth. Simmer on low heat for about 8 minutes.
For the meatballs
- Combine all of the meatball ingredients in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly. Form into 16 meatballs. In a large, nonstick saute pan, fry the meatballs over medium heat until golden on all sides and cooked through. About 3 – 4 minutes per side. Toss the meatballs gently in the sauce, then spread on a parchment lined baking sheet and broil (carefully!!) for 2 – 3 minutes.
- Serve with low carb cole slaw for the authentic BBQ experience!
