Meatballs are roasted, then simmered in a rich barbeque sauce made with cola. These make a great potluck dish.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 1/4 cups dry breadcrumbs
1 egg
3 tablespoons onions, grated
1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch dressing mix
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup cola
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce

3. Shape into 1 inch meatballs, and place on a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan, or any baking sheet with sides to catch the grease.
4. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, turning them over half way through.
5. While the meatballs are roasting, mix together the ketchup, cider vinegar, cola, chopped onion and green pepper in a slow cooker. Season with seasoning salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
