Рецепт Barbecue Meatballs (Baked)
Barbecue Meatballs (Baked)
This is one of those recipes that could be classified as "comfort food", because it's a very satisfying older recipe. It was given to me by an older lady in our church, who is a great cook. She makes these yummy meatballs for a lot of different occasions, from church and funeral dinners that we ladies cook for families of members who have passed away, to holiday parties. People almost start fights over the last few of these luscious meatballs! The meatballs are tender and covered in a sweet, tangy and easy to make sauce. I made these a bit smaller than a golf ball and had them for dinner with some garlic mashed potatoes. My family loves the tangy sauce!
But, these tasty Barbecued Meatballs are wonderful made a bit smaller and served for all kinds of get togethers. Are the guys coming over to watch football? Serve these. Having a small party and want some easy dishes? Make these! They go together quickly. Here's how.
BARBECUE MEATBALLS- from Lynda's Recipe Box
- 3 pounds lean ground chuck (the leaner, the better)
- 2 cups oatmeal (I use quick oats)
- 1 1/2 cups milk (recipe calls for 12 ounces canned milk)
- 1/2 garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 1 cup diced onion
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Make into balls and place into baking pan. I used a large roasting pan to hold them all. Make sauce.
- SAUCE:
- 2 cups ketchup
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 tsp. liquid smoke
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
Mix all ingredients and pour over the meatballs. Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes.
TIP: Use at least 80-20 lean beef, as fatty beef will yield more grease in the sauce. You can also make these the day before you want to serve them, and then reheat before serving.
If you are serving these for a small family, the recipe can easily be halved. Enjoy!
