When we have family get togethers or if we are celebrating the holidays, we will often make a meal out of the appetizers. Everyone brings their favorite snack and it’s an easy and delicious way to enjoy our time together without anyone preparing a huge meal.

These Peach BBQ Meatballs were a huge hit as an appetizer. They are the perfect bite on a snack plate but they are totally delicious enough to serve as a main course. Serve them up on hoagie buns or over rice with steamed broccoli for a family favorite meal.
