Weekend Cooking: Simple, Delicious Meatballs

We had an impromptu family get-together/party at my in-laws last night. I wanted to whip something up to take along, and I decided on these meatballs. I make them quite often because: 1. my kids love them and 2. they're so darn simple and don't require a pantry-full of ingredients.

Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef
1 small can of evaporated milk (5 oz)
1 envelope of onion soup mix
1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce

Mix together and shape into meatballs. Brown in the oven at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes.

For the sauce:
2 c. ketchup
1 c. brown sugar
1 Tbls. Worcestershire sauce

Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for a while so they can soak up the saucy deliciousness. The recipe made about fifty meatballs using my tablespoon scoop.

Simple, delicious meatballs

Taking a nice looking photo of meatballs is a little difficult. This is the best I could do. Trust me, they're scrumptious.

Enjoy. Talk to you soon,
Angela

  6. I haven't made meatballs in a long time. I bet these would be great with spaghetti or any kind of sauce.

    1. They are. I've tried them with brown gravy too. Yum. Your recipe for Mandarin Orange cake has my mouth watering :)

  7. Wonder if meatballs with evaporated milk would freeze well. I avoid freezing raw dairy products because milk, for example, separates. Suppose you could fully cook these and then freeze?
