I first tried these meatballs at a Halloween party years ago and I immediately asked for the recipe from our friend, Lindsay. I'm not really into meals like meatloaf and meatballs where the meat is the main focus, but this homemade sauce is to die for! Seriously, these are irresistible! These are great served as the main course meal, make them mini sized and throw them in a crock pot to keep warm during a party, etc. The possibilities are endless but trust me, you WILL want to eat these all the time and share them with all your friends!
BBQ Meatballs
1 1/2 pound Ground beef
1 Egg
1 cup Quick Oats
6 1/2 ounces Evaporated Milk (I just use a small 5 oz can and it works great!)
1/2 Chopped Onion
1 tsp Salt (I don't add the salt)
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder (I usually mince half a garlic clove instead)
1 tbsp Chili Powder
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Roll into balls and place in a 9x13 pan.
The Sauce
1 cup Ketchup
1 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 tsp Minced Garlic
1/4 cup Chopped Onion
1 tbsp Liquid Smoke Flavoring
Mix together then spoon on top of meatballs. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes, or until meat is cooked through. Enjoy!!
