We are more about the food than the football around our house these days and today’s recipe is mind-blowing delicious! My husband and son are major meatball lovers and this was their creation. We all worked together and the outcome was EPIC.
After making our Easy Smoked Meatloaf, we have been dying to try grilled meatballs and they turned out great. This recipe has quite a few steps but I promise this will be the hit of the party!

How to Make Barbecue Meat Pies:
- Prepare Grill with an off set fire.
- Add ground chuck, oats, egg, onion, garlic and barbecue sauce to a bowl.
- Mix dry seasonings together and add to bowl.
- Using your hands, blend the mixture together.
- Form into meatballs and place on a Grill Pan.
- Place on heated grill and shut the lid.
Cook at 325-350 for about 15-20 minutes or until meatballs reach 165 degrees.
Remove from grill and baste with homemade barbecue sauce.
Cut pie crust into 2 1/2 – 3 inch circles using a biscuit cutter.
Top a pie crust circle with about a teaspoon of mozzarella cheese and half of a meatball.
Top with another pie crust circle and using a fork, crimp edges to seal.
Place on a lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Beat an egg and brush over pie crusts. It will give that gorgeous golden brown color when the meat pies are baked.
Bake for 17-20 minutes until golden brown.
Serve with homemade barbecue sauce.

These Mini Barbecue Meat Pies are perfect to make ahead of the party. They can even be made a day ahead, refrigerated and reheated in a 300° oven for 12- 15 minutes before the party.
Recipe Variations:
You can also bake the meatballs if you don’t want to grill them. I would recommend a 375° oven for about 20 minutes.
I used Wewalka Pie Crusts for this recipe but you can use this pie crust recipe if you prefer.
Best Barbecue Sauce for Meatballs:
Our Homemade Barbecue Sauce is perfect for coating meatballs. We also love Dr Pepper Barbecue Sauce for grilling recipes and if you like spicy recipes, try our Jalapeño Barbecue Sauce.
More Appetizer Recipes to Add to the Menu:
Hickory Smoked Chicken Wings are a classic for game day and you will love the zesty Italian seasonings on these wings. Mini Doritos Cheese Balls are one of the easiest appetizers you can make with just 4 ingredients! Meatball Poppers are wrapped in pizza dough and dipped in marinara, so good!

Meatballs with Creamy Mushroom Gravy is an amazing comfort food dinner, best served over mashed potatoes. Quick Ravioli with Sausage Meatballs is an easy dinner for busy weeknights.
