A couple of weeks ago I popped over to the Pioneer Woman Cooks and spied these tasty little meatballs. Nothing special, really --basically meatloaf mix cooked into balls and topped with a zesty homemade BBQ sauce. Inexpensive, homey, simple, yet delicious -- perfect middle-of-February-and-bored-with-the-cold-and-being-stuck-indoors food. Perfect for some friends and a college basketball game. Perfect for sitting around a nice crackling fire and a good family movie. Just good, old-fashioned simple food.
BBQ Meatballs
serves 6
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
¾ cups oatmeal (I used old-fashioned)
1 cup milk
3 T. finely minced onion
1 t. salt
black pepper to taste (I used about 1/4 t.)
1 cup All-Purpose Flour (coating for chilled meatballs)
Canola Oil
1 cup ketchup
2 T. sugar
3 T. vinegar
2 T. Worcestershire
4 T. minced onion
dash Tabasco
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all meatball ingredients. Roll into medium-small balls and place on a cookie sheet. Place sheet in freezer for five minutes.
After 5 minutes, remove meatballs from freezer and immediately dredge in unseasoned flour.
Brown meatballs in canola oil until just brown. Place into a baking dish.
Combine all sauce ingredients*. Pour over meatballs and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Serve with noodles or mashed potatoes to use up extra sauce.
* Double or one and a half times the sauce for enough to use as "gravy."

Was planning to make meat balls.... Thanks for ur recipe :)
ReplyDeleteI've made this recipe before, too. Brad liked it, but I thought they needed a bit more sauce. I like that you served them over noodles!
ReplyDeleteAbby, Be sure to double the sauce next time. I may have made half again, but it's been a few weeks (and my memory is just awful!).
ReplyDeleteI saw this recipe at pioneer woman and was wanting to try it. Thanks for a second opinion, I'll definitely give this one a shot!
