Ingredients:

Serving

for the meatballs
2 lbs ground meat ( venison , pork , beef , bison , elk , chicken , turkey , etc, or any combo of the above)
1 clove garlic
about 3tsp grated onion (or sub some dry minced onion)
1 large egg
1 cup dry, fine breadcrumbs
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp fresh parsley, minced
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
kosher or sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
for sauce
8 oz tomato sauce
3/4-1 cup honey
1/2-2 tsp cayenne
1/2 cup favorite bbq sauce
juice from 1/2 lime
3 tsp tequila or rum
dash each of worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke

Directions:

Combine meatball ingredients well.
Roll to large tablespoon sized balls and place on cooling rack resting over a cookie sheet. (I cover the sheet with foil and spray the cooling rack :) See Photo
Bake at 400 for about 12 minutes. Don't over brown, just cook them enough to be cooked just through and most of the fat has been rendered. See Photo
Add all sauce ingredients to slow cooker and drop in meatballs.(make sure they are mostly drained)
Stir and let simmer on low for a couple of hours, just to warm through and mix flavors.
You can also take the lid off to let the sauce thicken, if desired.
