How to make Dr Pepper Meatballs?
Dr pepper meatballs are easy to prepare and can be made in advance! And, since they are baked and not pan fried, they are healthier than other cocktail meatball options!
In a hurry? If you are in a pinch and want to save time, you can use frozen meatballs instead of making your own from scratch. Be sure to prepare the meatballs according to the instructions on the meatball packaging.
- Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spray the wire rack generously with non-stick cooking oil.
- Soak bread crumbs: Place the breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Pour milk over the breadcrumbs and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Prepare meatballs: In a large bowl, whisk the egg. Add in the onion, jalapeno, parsley, and Worcestershire. Season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a scant ½ teaspoon pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Add meat: Add the soaked breadcrumbs and ground meat to the egg mixture. Using your hands, gently mix everything together until just blended (but do NOT overmix!!). The meatball mixture should be moist.
- Form the meatballs: With wet hands (to keep meatballs from sticking) or a small ice cream scooper, portion out 1 ½ tablespoon-sized meatballs. Gently roll the meatball mixture between your fingers to form into balls. Continue shaping and forming meatballs until all the meat is used, transferring the meatballs onto the prepared rack, about 1/2-inch apart.
- Bake meatballs: Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the meatball registers 165 degrees F. Remove the baking sheet from oven and IMMEDIATELY transfer the meatballs to a large bowl.
- While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce: In a large saucepan, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Immediately lower heat to maintain a simmer. Cook, whisking occasionally, until sauce is coats the back of a spoon and is slightly thickened to a syrup consistency, about 10-12 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Keep the sauce warm on the stove while the meatballs finish baking.
- Toss meatballs in sauce: Pour enough sauce over the meatballs to coat. Gently toss. Serve with any remaining sauce on the side and garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Enjoy!
Step-by-step photos of how to make Dr Pepper meatballs:
Can you make cocktail meatballs in advance?
Meatballs can be made up to 2 days in advance.
If you want to prepare meatballs ahead of time for a party, prepare and roll the meatballs and then transfer them to an airtight container. Prepared meatballs can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, bake the meatballs, prepare the sauce, toss and enjoy!
How many cocktail meatballs per person?
The number of meatballs per person to serve at a party greatly depends on how many other appetizers you are serving. As a general rule of thumb, plan on three to five Dr Pepper Meatballs per person.
Pro-tip: Serving these at a party? Transfer the baked meatballs and sauce to a slow cooker. Turn the slow cooker to the “warm” setting to keep them warm and fresh!
Do your next game day or holiday party right, and be sure to include these flavorful and fabulous meatballs on the menu!
Until next time, friends, cheers – to magical meatballs!
XOXO

Notes
- Make sure you grate the onion using the large holes on a box grater.
- If you don’t like a ton of heat, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeno before mincing.
- For the most flavor, use a combination of meats – ½ a pound ground beef (80/20 chuck) and ½ a pound pork.
- Dr Pepper Sauce: The recipe makes a good amount of sauce. If you don’t like saucy meatballs, cut the sauce recipe in half, or double the meatball portion of the recipe!
- To make in advance: Meatballs can be prepared and rolled up to 2 days in advance. Store meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Serving these at a party? Transfer the baked meatballs and sauce to a slow cooker. Turn the slow cooker to the “warm” setting to keep them warm and fresh!

These look so moist and delicious! I have always loved Dr. Pepper so to make a glaze with it and add jalepenos for a bit of spice sounds like heaven! Pinned! Take care.
I never would have thought to do a Dr. Pepper glaze on meatballs but it sounds just delicious! I like sweet and spicy meatballs so I think I would totally love these, and I definitely want to try cooking with Dr. Pepper now 🙂
YUM!! These look amazing! What a great recipe! Thanks so much for sharing!!

Dayum, Subourbon Cottage is where it’s at for football games (and just any event where food takes place)! Girl, these meatballs look out of this world. Sweet, spicy, salty, meaty! It’s perfect game day grub! This seriously looks phenomenal, which honestly can be hard to do with meatballs. Like you said, we’ve all seen meatball recipes, but this just goes beyond. That glaze is everything! I would cheer for you and your team (even tho I have no clue what’s what when it comes to football) just for the sake of getting on your good side and bribing you into making more of these! I’d grab one of those parker house rolls you made, slice ’em open, and stuff it with one of these meatballs. Then I’d fill up my beer cup from your pumpkin keg and just never leave your house again! 😀 Aren’t you glad I’m all the way here in CA?? :p hehe Yet again another fantastic recipe, pretty girl!! Much love XOXOXO
Hahahahah! Oh My gawsh, Beeta, just when I thought I couldn’t love you any more, or you couldn’t make me laugh any harder, you do! Actually, I’m not glad you live alllllll the way in CA! I wish you lived here and we were neighbors! Thank you so much for the love, girlfriend! You rock! Cheers! XOXO
A little armchair competition makes the game that much more fun to watch, in my opinion. Your photos are gorgeous! The meatballs are picture perfect—I want to stare at them all day! The glaze with Dr. Pepper and jalapeños sounds AMAZING…sticky, spicy, sweet, and yummy!! Pinning.
Hahaha! LOVE that – a little armchair competition! So cute! You are right, Thao, it does make the game a bit more fun to watch… but I prefer when my team wins! 😉 Thanks so much for the sweet comment and the pin, my dear! Cheers!! <3
Dr. Pepper is the only soft drink I actually like and the fact you put in the glaze for this meatballs is making me seriously hungry.
Oh, wow! I had no clue Dr Pepper was your only soda go to! Then these meatballs are totally for you, Nicole! Thanks so much for the comment, girlie! Cheers!
Girl you seriously just rocked my world with this!!! Wowza!
Hahaha! Wow, that is a huge compliment, Jocelyn! Thank you so much! Cheers, boo!
I’m really loving that glaze, Cheyanne! Such a unique combination of flavors- so delish!
Thank you so much, Allie! Cheers to a beautiful day, my dear!
Nope…I never met a meatball I didn’t like and these are no exception! They look so tender and juicy – yep, I’d say succulent is the correct word! I’d be dangerous around this plate. I know it’s nice to share but I think I’d have a tough time remembering that! Lovely dish, my dear! xo
You and me both, Annie! Meatball love for life! 🙂 Thanks so much for the sweet comment, darling! Cheers to a fabulous day!
Holy cow, Chey! (I hope this doesn’t sound offensive regarding the ingredients). I don’t know a thing about football so let’s talk about these delicious, succulent, and juicy meatballs. Actually, I’ve already said whatewer I could. Do you remember our old Sweden friend Karlsson-on-the-Roof? Then he would love these meatballs and gobble them up in no time! I mean he would do that with any food, but you should be pleased anyways:)
Hahah, holy cow is totally appropriate here, Ben! I don’t know a thing about Karlsson-on-the-roof, but I’d be up for chowing down on these meatballs on the roof! lol. Thanks for the comment, buddy! Cheers!
I watch football for the good food 🙂 . These meatballs look amazing! I hope your team wins!
Football and good food go hand and hand! Thanks so much for the comment! Cheers! 🙂
seriously, the perfect glaze! love the creative use of DP here!
Thank you so much, Lindsay! Cheers!
Cheyanne, this Dr Pepper glaze is amazing!!! I’m seeing more and more uses of cola and soda and I love it!!! I bet the flavor here is crazy good!!!! love these meatballs!!! totally want to try this!
I have been seeing the same trend, Alice and I LOVE it as well! Thank you so much for the sweet comment, girlfriend! Cheers!
Wow these meatballs look deeeelicious! The glaze is stunning Cheyanne, such a delicious flavour. I love how you used Dr. Pepper to make it too, that’s such a great idea!!! Yum!
Thank you so much for the seriously sweet comment, Harriet!! Cheers doll! <3
We’re BIG on game day food and the game! Dr. Pepper and jalapeno is totally worthy of game day — these flavors sound so delicious and I’d love to dig into those meatballs! Pinned. 🙂
I am so glad you agree these are game day worthy, Marcie! Thank you so much for the sweet comment and the pin!! Cheers! 😉
Sadly I am not a big sports fan, still love me? Kidding aside I am loving these – especially because of the beef/pork mix plus that wonderful bite from the jalapeno! That should definitely work with that Dr. Pepper. As a kid I was told it was made of prune juice, what a nasty folk tale, but I still hear it from people today. You can look it up, it is not and started back in the 1930s for whatever reason. I love it iced cold. These look great – Pinned for later snackin’!
Of course I still love ya, Kevin! I’m so glad you approve of these meatballs and like the beef/pork mix! That makes my day! I have heard that myth about prune juice and Dr Pepper before, but I didn’t know it started in the 30’s! Fun fact of the day. 🙂 Thanks for the comment and the pin, buddy! Cheers to a stellar day!
Yum! I love meatballs!!! These look scrumptious….I love how you made this glaze!
Thank you so much, Kathy! Cheers to a fabulous day! 🙂
OMG! I saw these on Pinterest and almost drooled all over the screen. I’m totally a Dr. Pepper girl and I love me some jalapenos!
Lol, Thank you so much for the sweet comment and the drool, Christin!! Cheers to a fabulous day! 🙂
Whaaaaaaat stop. This looks amazing. I love everything about it. NEED. RIGHT. NOW! Pinned :).
Hahaha! I will not stop. 🙂 You always make me laugh, Annie! Thanks for that and the pin, doll! Cheers!
I love meatballs any way, and this glaze looks so yummy! you have bring these meatball to a whole new level girl!
Right, I have never met a meatball I don’t like either, G! Thanks so much for the sweet comment! Hugs!
These are amazing!! Such perfect football tailgating food 🙂
Thank you so much, Rachel! Total game dame grub! cheers, doll! 😉
Woah! They look amazing! I looooove meatballs!
Thank you so much, Jess! Cheers!
Um, I’m pretty sure these are the most incredible meatballs I’ve ever seen. LOVE the sweet and spicy combo! I can just imagine how unreal that Dr. Pepper glaze is!
Oh wow, thank you so much, Ashley! The Dr Pepper glaze is a total winner! Cheers, my sweets!
Oooooo, I’m bringing these to our friend’s next football game day party. So perfect and I can keep them warm in the lil’ slow cooker. And they would be a great addition to a Christmas Eve buffet!! And then I could make them again for the Super Bowl party! Hahaha! I think this is my kind of recipe 🙂 PS, my team is University of Tn so that’s who y’all need to be rooting for.
These would totally keep well in a slow cooker on warm! Hope you do bring them to your friends party and let me know how they go over! Wish you lived here, we could scarf em down together! (<--- reason #500 for you to move here. tell J). 🙂 Thanks for the love, girlie! Cheers! XO P.S. No TO TENNESSEE 😉
Wow! These look incredibly amazing. All my guys would scarf up these yummy meatballs in a skinny minute, Cheyanne. We are big Pats fans around here, college football isn’t such a big deal in the north. Glad you’re the real deal, true to your football love. Back to meatballs. I think the biggest challenge to making these meatballs would be hiding the Dr. Pepper from my kids so I’d have it for the recipe. They love it that much. Can’t wait to try these wickedly delicious meatballs, and may YOUR team win. Love ya. XOXO
We are Jags fans, so we definitely watch NFL too! 🙂 BUT i’m totally the real deal with my college team. lol! Dr Pepper is pretty addictive, so I’d say hide some in a good place for these meatballs! These are definitely a kid pleaser, because they aren’t spicy at all. The jalapeno has a very mild flavor. Thanks so much for the kind words, my dear! Cheers!! xoxo
My husband and I are fans of rival teams as well! But we both did attend the schools of our teams, so I think your reasoning is perfectly legit 🙂 And I am loving these sweet and spicy meatballs! I bet the Dr. pepper gives an awesome flavor. Bravo, lady!
That’s so cool, Meghan! At least your rivalry is a little bit more well balanced than ours, since yall went to the actual schools! I just want to tell my husband to shut up and he is a fake fan when he cheers for his team. lol. (<--insert angel face here) Thanks so much for the sweet comment, my dear! Cheers!
I definitely agree that your love is truer for your team since you actually went to college there! I didn’t know you guys were so hard-core football fans – although I didn’t know you yet last season. 🙂 We don’t really have college favorites because out of the 4 universities Chris and I attended NONE of them have football teams. Lame. We are die hard Panther’s fans though and the last two games had us screaming at the TV! But we are still 8-0! Woot! I wish we would have had some of these meatballs for yesterday’s game. I’ve had meatballs glazed with grape jelly before but never Dr. Pepper! Crazy genius business!
Haha! SO glad you agree, Rachelle!! Wow 4 universities and NO team? Dang! I guess I am going to have to consider liking the Panthers. Don’t kill me but we are huge Jax Jags fans 🙂 But I have to admit, having a little rivalry is always fun! I’ve had the meatballs with grape jelly you are talking about, these Dr Pepper ones are way better. (toot. toot.) 🙂 Thanks for the comment, my dear! Cheers!
It’s kind of sad … with my husband and I in the middle of moving from Minneapolis to Des Moines, I’ve hardly had any time to watch football! 🙁 I am so ready to be moved into the new place, and these meatballs would be an excellent way to celebrate FINALLY watching a big game. Haha. Beautiful photos Cheyanne!
I know you guys have been packing to move, and trust me I feel for you since I recently relocated myself. I hope it goes smoothly for you guys! AND no worries, football isn’t going anywhere! Thanks for the lovely comment, doll! Cheers! <3
Heyyyy fellow Dr Pepper blogger! Man oh man, those meatballs have me drooling!! I’m pretty sure I’d eat all of them lol 🙂
Yay to Dr Pepper Twinning girlfriend! Thanks so much for the sweet comment! Cheers!
Woah! These meatballs are screaming my name! They look like the perfect gameday food. And for the record, I hope your team beats your sister’s team this year! #client
Thank you, David! I hope my team wins too, but it’s not looking very promising! We shall see come Thanksgiving weekend! Cheers, buddy!
Haha too funny that your sister and hubs support the same rival team – I would totally be cheering alongside with YOU though especially if these meatballs were joining us! 🙂 They look so juicy and flavorful! Love the Dr. Pepper and jalapenos in here!
Thanks so much Kelly! Luckily my mother and MOD are fans of THE correct team (my team), so I have some moral support! I’m glad you would be a good friend and cheer with me! You are always so sweet, girlfriend! Thanks so much for the love (and support!)! Cheers, my dear!
I am all for addicting recipes…especially bite sized meatballs like this. I love how you and the hubs are supporting opposite teams…makes it fun to watch the games I am sure.
I concur, Zainab! You are right, supporting other teams does make the game more fun to watch… but sometimes I want to lock him in the basement. 😉 Thanks for the sweet comment, my dear! Cheers! <3
Oh boy… my hubs would go crazy for these. The real love of his life isn’t me. It’s Dr. Pepper. Sad but true. The meatballs sure looks amazing.
Lol, you are hilarious, AiPing! I’m sure Dr Pepper isn’t really the love of your hubs life… it’s probably just tied with you 😉 I completely understand, because I’m convinced my hubs is the same! Thanks so much for the giggles and the comment! Cheers!
I’m lovin’ everything about these scrumptious little meatballs Cheyanne! They look like the perfect game day food for my husband Tom, and me for that matter!! Your photos are leaving me majorly hungry!! They look so incredibly juicy! These are going straight to the top of the list of great game day food!! Thanks for sharing and have an awesome week!
Thank you so much, Mary Ann! If you husband is anything like mine, he will LOVE these! 😉 You are too sweet with your kind words! Thanks for making me smile! Cheers to YOU and a fantastic week, my dear!
Wow, I bet these meatballs taste amazing!! I’d love these for dinner right now!
Thanks so much, Marsha! These meatballs make a stellar Dinner! Cheers, girlfriend!
Hahaha – Cheyanne, I love your reasoning behind why your team love trumps Boy’s and your sisters’! Though, you’d think they’d go along with anything and everything you say when you are the one feeding them eats like these sticky glazed meatballs! I love my balls with a spicy kick – so using jalapenos in that glaze along with Dr Pepper is pretty genius girl!!!
Lol, Thanks, Shahi! Glad you are on board with my reasoning… or I at least made you laugh! You would think that Boy and my sister would go along with my reasoning, right?! I think they just like to be difficult 😉 Thanks so much for the sweet comment, my dear! Cheers! <3
I’ve been craving delicious game day meatballs lately and these look incredible. I love the addition of the jalapeno flavor!
Thanks so much, Ashley! I am a sucker for jalapeno anything… and meatballs.. and Dr Pepper. 😉 Cheers, girlie!
I need to make some meatballs pretty soon! These look perfect! Love the glaze! Pinning 🙂
Thanks so much for the sweet comment AND the Pin, Mira!! Cheers, girlfriend!
I could devour these meatballs! They look amazing! Dr Pepper has always been my choice of soda. Love this recipe!!!
Thank you so much, Jen! We certainly devoured these in record time! Cheers, my dear!
Well, these pretty much sound perfect. I love spicy and how could you possibly go wrong with a Dr. Pepper glaze? I really like Dr. Pepper on ham, so this sounds terrific!
Thank you so much, Amanda! I agree, you can’t really go wrong with a Dr Pepper glaze! 🙂 Cheers, my dear!
Wow! These meatballs look amazing! I love your reasoning for why you are a better fan! Too cute!
Lol, Thanks for understanding my reasoning, Shelby! AND for the sweet comment! Cheers, doll!
These meatballs looks amazingly delicious and I want to gobble them all up. I think they would even motivate me to sit down and watch football (I’m not a fan, just a fan of the food!). Happy Monday, Luv!
Haha! These meatballs possibly motivating you to sit down and watch the game is a HUGE compliment, Liz! I am not a fan-fan of ALL football, just my teams! (<--Because naturally they are the best) 😉 Thanks so much for the love, girlfriend! Cheers!
I love finding new ways to sneak unusual ingredients into foods! These meatballs look fantastic, Cheyanne! I bet the Dr Pepper gives this dish such a great flavor. And this would be perfect for game days, as I’m always looking for new snacks to make for my husband and I. Love this dish! Pinned!
Thank you so much for the sweet comment and the Pin, Gayle! You are terrific at sneaking in unusual ingredients and turning them into fabulous dishes, so I am thrilled you like these meatballs! 🙂 Cheers, my dear!
These were fantastic!! Just the right amount of heat tempered with the perfect amount of sweetness. We served these over wide, flat egg noodles and they were delicious (we doubled the sauce). Thanks for this recipe. It’s a keeper.
I am so thrilled you loved these meatballs!! Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know how it went over!! Cheers! 🙂
