Way Better BBQ Meatballs


This recipe is made with sprouted Way Better Snacks Simply Unbeatable Blues Tortilla Chips.  There is nothing better than being able to add sprouted seeds to a dish that my family loves :-)   It is that secret ingredient that makes me feel Way Better about serving! Be sure to “Re-Pin” this recipe so you have it when you are ready to make it!

These meatballs are very easy to prepare and you freeze them to use at a later time. This batch makes so much that I was able to divide into 3 meals. This meal can be gluten free as long as your meat and oats are Gluten Free. When I made these I made them for the freezer so when  I did was pull it out of the freezer the night before and let it thaw in the fridge. Be sure to check out our Freezer Cooking Series.  You could also make these meatballs into Muffin Size using this technique of meatloaf in a muffin tin.

  1. Wow! I can’t wait to try this recipe!

  2. These look so good but, unfortunately, my daughter doesn’t care for bbq sauce. :( Would these meatballs be good for something else like swedish meatballs or spaghetti and meatballs?

  3. These look FAB!! Can’t wait to try them!

  4. This recipe sounds delicious! I hope I can keep from eating the entire package of Way Better Snacks while cooking them! :-)

  5. This is a great idea. I always add crackers or bread crumbs to meatloaf or meatballs but I never would have thought about adding Way Better tortilla chips! I’ll have to try it out!

  6. I’m going to have to try these. My family would love them.

  7. Putting on the menu for next week! Love Way Better!!!

  8. My husband and boys will love this! Can’t wait to make them!
