This is a recipe my grandmother used to make, and everyone loved it. I've made these meatballs as an appetizer or the main course of a meal. Ingredients:
3 lbs ground beef |
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk |
1 cup rolled oats |
1 cup saltine crackers, crushed |
2 eggs |
3/4 cup onion, chopped |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
2 teaspoons chili powder |
2 cups catsup |
1 cup brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Thoroughly combine beef, milk, oats, crackers, eggs, 1/2 cup onion, 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, salt, pepper and chili powder for meatballs.
3. Form meat mixture into 1-inch balls and place in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. I usually only place 40 meatballs in the pan and freeze the other half of the mixture for a meatloaf. If you want to make the full recipe, use an additional 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
4. Combine catsup, brown sugar, liquid smoke, 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder and 1/4 cup chopped onion. Stir mixture until brown sugar dissolves (will still be a bit grainy).
5. Pour sauce mixture over meatballs.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.
