Greek Honey BBQ Meatballs
Sweet • Smoky • Savory • Made for Sharing
Sweet, smoky, savory, and made for sharing, these Greek Honey BBQ Meatballs are an easy addition to any game-day or tailgating spread.
A familiar BBQ favorite gets a subtle Mediterranean-inspired twist from TRULY GREEK Thyme Honey and a touch of TRULY GREEK Honey Balsamic Vinegar, giving the sauce a balanced sweet-and-tangy finish.
Because the recipe starts with fully cooked frozen meatballs, prep stays simple: mix the sauce, coat the meatballs, bake, and keep them warm until everyone is ready to snack.
Serve them with toothpicks at a football watch party, tailgate, or casual gathering for an appetizer that can stay warm throughout the game.
Recipe at a Glance
An easy crowd-friendly appetizer with smoky BBQ sauce, Greek thyme honey, and honey balsamic for a sweet, savory, and tangy Mediterranean-inspired finish.
Why This BBQ Sauce Works
BBQ sauce already brings smoke, sweetness, and savory depth. The addition of TRULY GREEK Thyme Honey rounds out that smoky flavor with smooth natural sweetness.
A small amount of TRULY GREEK Honey Balsamic Vinegar adds just enough acidity to balance the sweetness and give the sauce a brighter finish without overpowering the familiar BBQ flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs frozen fully cooked meatballs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce

- 1 tsp TRULY GREEK Honey Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
How to Make Greek Honey BBQ Meatballs
Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Meatballs
Place the fully cooked frozen meatballs in a baking dish, spreading them into an even layer.
Make the Greek Honey BBQ Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, TRULY GREEK Thyme Honey, TRULY GREEK Honey Balsamic Vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika.
Mix until the honey is evenly incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
Coat the Meatballs
Pour the sauce over the meatballs and stir gently until every meatball is evenly coated.
Bake
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the meatballs are heated through and coated in the warm, glossy BBQ sauce.
Keep Warm and Serve
Transfer the meatballs to a slow cooker set to warm so they stay hot throughout the game.
Serving Tip
Serve the meatballs warm with toothpicks for easy game-day snacking.
If you're feeding a crowd, keep them in a slow cooker so guests can help themselves throughout the game without the meatballs cooling down.
