Barbecued Meatballs

BBQ Meatballs

Ingredients:

Meatballs:

3 lbs hamburger

5 oz milk

2 cups oatmeal

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 teaspoon chili pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2-3 teaspoons salt

2 eggs

Sauce:

2 cups ketchup

1 1/2 Tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup chopped onion 

 

Directions: 

Mix meatball ingredients.  Shape into 1" balls.  Put in a 9"x13" pan.  Mix up sauce and pour over meatballs.  Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

*I scoop mine with a #16 scoop I bought at Gordon Food Service, and 1 recipe made about 22 meatballs.

*They are a little on the spicy side, and sometimes my little people complain about it.

*These freeze great, and are on of my favorite dishes to take- we like them with cheesy potatoes.

*I've froze them two different ways, 1: followed the directions and put them in the freezer instead of the oven, and, 2: Froze the meatballs on a cookie sheet, then tossed in a ziploc bag to save space in my freezer.  This is a great way to make ahead and get out only what you need. I've frozen the sauce separately as well.
