Tasty Tuesdays: BBQ Meatballs

My sweet friend, Myra, shared her recipe for BBQ Meatballs with me a couple of weeks ago.  My family loved it!  I got her permission to share the recipe with all my bloggy friends.  (Please excuse the pictures.  I'm not a great photographer.)

BBQ MEATBALLS


1 LARGE CAN OF EVAPORATED MILK
3LB. GROUND CHUCK OR GROUND BEEF
2 CUPS QUICK OATMEAL
2 EGGS
1/2 CUP CHOPPED ONION
1/2 tsp SALT
1/2 tsp PEPPER
2 tsp. CHILI POWDER
2 tsp. GARLIC POWDER

Mix together evaporated milk, ground beef, oatmeal, eggs, onion, salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder. Make into small meatballs. Place in 2 (9x13) greased pans. Top uncooked meatballs with BBQ sauce and bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour.  Spoon BBQ sauce over meatballs periodically as it cooks.

BBQ SAUCE

3 cups ketchup
2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup chopped onion
2T liquid smoke

Combine all ingredients and pour over uncooked meatballs.

I halved the recipe for my family.  We had plenty and even had some left-overs for the next day.   The sauce thickens up as it cooks. 

This was a very easy dish to prepare and my boys loved it.  It goes great with mashed potatoes!

Give it a try . . . and let us know what you think!

Love from the farm and . . .
