Meatball and Sausage Bites

2 eggs
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds ground beef
2 packages (1 pound each) miniature smoked sausage links
2 cans (20 ounces each) pineapple chunks, drained
1 jar (10 ounces) small stuffed olives, drained
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 bottles (20 ounces each) barbecue sauce

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients; mix well. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls.

Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until no longer pink. With a slotted spoon, transfer meatballs to two hallow 3-qt. baking dishes.

Add sausages, pineapple and olives to each; toss gently to mix. Combine brown sugar and barbecue sauce; pour half over each casserole. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 minutes or until heated through. Makes about 40 servings.

Tip: Assemble pans of this appetizer a day ahead, cover and refrigerate. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking as directed. Serve from a slow cooker or electric roaster.
