BBQ-Glazed Homemade Meatballs
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • 6 1/2 ounces evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Next, lightly coat the interior surface of a medium-sized baking dish with a thin layer of oil to prevent food from sticking.
2
Then, in a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of ground beef with 1/4 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of evaporated milk, a beaten egg, and an assortment of seasonings including chili powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
3
Form the mixture into 1 1/2 inch diameter balls, which will serve as the main components of your dish. Arrange these meatballs in a single layer on the prepared baking dish.
4
In a separate mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, the remaining 1/4 cup of onion, a dash of liquid smoke, and some minced garlic.
5
Pour the ketchup mixture evenly over the meatballs in the baking dish, ensuring that each one is well-coated.
6
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees F (72 degrees C), which should take approximately 1 hour.
