We love BBQ Meatballs, but I’m not much for squishy raw meat on my hands. Especially when I have to stop what I’m doing every two seconds or so to tend to the needs of a little person… or two… or three. 😉
I was quite pleased with myself the day I figured out that my large cookie scoop was about the same size as the meatballs I usually make. So now I “scoop and plop” my meatballs. The task gets done a lot quicker and without the mess. AND the meatballs are all the same size. Bonus!
If you need a good BBQ Meatball recipe, here’s the one we love. It makes a lot. I normally put the meatballs in three 9×9 pans and freeze two pans for later use. We had company over the night I used the big pan.
BBQ Meatballs
- 1 can (13 oz.) evaporated milk
- 3 lbs. ground beef
- 2 c. oatmeal
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 1 c. chopped onion
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. chili powder
Mix and shape into balls. Place in pan in a single layer.
Sauce
- 2 c. ketchup
- 1 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. liquid smoke
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 c. chopped onion
Mix together and pour over meatballs. Bake at 350 for one hour. (I cover them for 30 minutes and then uncover for the last 30 minutes.)
