Cooking Steps

Cook potatoes and prep
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. 
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Remove any brown spots from potatoes, peel, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • To a large pot, add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered for 10-12 min, until fork-tender.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop chives.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Make meatballs
2
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • To a large bowl, add beef, panko, Applewood Smoke Spice, half the garlic, half the chives and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) BBQ sauce. (TIP: If you prefer more tender meatballs, add an egg to mixture.)
  • Season with pepper, then combine.
  • Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
  • On the prepared baking sheet, arrange meatballs.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until cooked through.**
Cook asparagus
3
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • Trim and discard bottom 1-inch from the asparagus. Cut asparagus into 2-inch pieces.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp ( 2 tbp) and asparagus. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
  • Add the remaining garlic. Cook for 1 min, stirring often until fragrant. 
Mash potatoes
4
  • When potatoes are fork-tender, drain and return to the pot, off heat.
  • Roughly mash 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) milk into potatoes until slightly mashed.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cover to keep warm, then set aside.
Coat meatballs
5
  • In another large bowl, stir together broth concentrate, remaining BBQ sauce and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water.
  • When meatballs are done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the bowl with BBQ sauce mixture, then toss to coat.
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide garlicky asparagus and smashed potatoes between plates.
  • Top potatoes with BBQ meatballs, then spoon any remaining sauce from the bowl over top.
  • Sprinkle with remaining chives.
