To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Use your hands to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
Next, roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
In a separate bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and red food coloring. This will be your spooky and flavorful glaze for the meatballs.
Once the meatballs are cooked, use a spoon to coat them in the glaze. Return them to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
