Cooking Steps
Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Combine potatoes, 2 tsp salt (use same amount for 4 ppl) and enough water to cover (approx. 1 inch) in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, until fork-tender, 10-12 min. Meanwhile, finely chop chives. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Combine beef, breadcrumbs, half the garlic, half the chives and BBQ seasoning in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Roll beef mixture into 2-inch meatballs (you should have 8 for 2 ppl or 16 for 4 ppl). Transfer meatballs to a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven, until cooked through, 10-12 min.**
While meatballs bake, cut stems off of green beans, then cut in half. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then beans and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4-6 min. Season with salt and pepper.
When potatoes are done, drain and return them to the same pot, off heat. Using a potato masher, mash 1 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp milk (dbl all for 4 ppl) into potatoes until creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Whisk together BBQ sauce, broth concentrate and 2 tbsp water (dbl for 4 ppl) in another large bowl. Set aside. When meatballs are done, transfer to BBQ sauce mixture. Stir together until meatballs are fully coated in the sauce.
Divide mashed potatoes between plates. Top with BBQ meatballs, spooning over any remaining sauce from the bowl. Sprinkle remaining chives over meatballs. Serve garlicky green beans alongside.
