I forgot to share my meatball recipe yesterday. Well the sauce is my Auntie Edna’s recipe but she used store-bought meatballs. I make my own and just add them straight to the sauce (no pre-browning).
BBQ Meatballs
1lb ground beef 1 sm. onion, chopped fine
1/2 c bread crumbs 1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 c milk salt & pepper
Saute onions and add to other ingredients.
Sauce:
1 1/2 c ketchup 3/4 c brown sugar
3T mustard 3 T vinegar
Mix up sauce in casserole dish. Form meat into small balls and drop directly into sauce. Cover and bake 350F for about 1 hour.
Grandma always likes when I make mashed potatoes to go along with BBQ meatballs. Personally, since the oven is on for an hour, it’s the perfect time to make baked potatoes or scalloped potatoes.
If you have the time, make these to go with the meatballs:
Garlic Parmesan Bread Sticks -makes 2 1/2 doz.
Dough:
1 T yeast 1 1/2 c warm water
4 T butter 1 T sugar
pinch salt 4 c flour
Topping:
1/2 c butter, melted
4T Parmesan 2 T dried parsley
1 1/2 T garlic powder (not garlic salt)
Mix the dough ingredients to make a soft dough. Let rest 10 minutes.
Combine the topping ingredients.
Roll out dough about 15×15 inches. Carefully transfer to a lined baking sheet. Cut in half, then cut into 1 inch strips. Spread with topping mixture.
Bake 350F for 18-20 minutes.
