Queen Bee Makes Meatballs

I have finally found the meatball recipe I will use the rest of my life!  My sister gave me this recipe and I believe she got it from my aunt.   The best part about this recipe is that you can freeze the meatballs for a later meal if you would like.  Here are the ingredients...

 

3 lbs. ground beef

1-12 oz. can evaporated milk

1 cup oatmeal (quick cooking oats)

1 cup saltines cracker crumbs

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 teaspoon chili powder

Mix all the ingredients together...

 

I add the ground beef last.  Then shape into meatball.  Place meatballs in a 9x13" baking dish.

 

 

(If you want to freeze some, place those on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer until solid and then put in a freezer bag.)

 

Here are the sauce ingredients...

 

2 cups ketchup

1 cup brown sugar

 

Mix together and pour over the meatballs.  If the meatballs are not frozen bake for 40-50 minutes in a 350 degree oven.  If the meatballs are frozen bake them for 1 hour in a 350 degree oven. 

 

Honey loves these and I always make them with the potato casserole I posted several weeks ago.   It makes for a  quick, easy and delicious meal!
