Meatball Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- 5 oz. Evaporated Milk
- 1 cup Quick Cooking Oats
- 1/2 cup Onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1.5 lbs Ground Beef
BBQ Sauce Ingredients
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 2/3 cup Brown Sugar packed
- 1/3 cup Onion finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Meatball Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with sides with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, add egg and use a fork to lightly beat it. Then add evaporated milk, oats, onion, salt, paprika and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Add ground beef to the egg mixture and use your hands to combine all the ingredients. Using a medium cookie scoop, make meatballs that are about 2" wide. Use your hands to roll them into round meatballs so they hold their shape.
Place meatballs on greased cookie sheet and bake for about 20 minutes until meat is no longer pink.
BBQ Sauce Directions
While meatballs are cooking, in a small saucepan, combine all of the sauce ingredients. Heat over medium high until sauce comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
When meatballs are done cooking, toss them in the sauce until they're completely coated. Then return them to the cookie sheet and continue baking at 350 for another 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and serve hot!
