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.
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

I never would have thought to put evaporated milk in meatballs, but it really seems like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteIt sure works in this recipe to make delicious little balls of meat :) Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteO I love meatballs!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Juju. Me too.
DeleteThanks for the recipe. It sounds great. Evaporated milk? Fascinating.
ReplyDeleteYou're quite welcome. Thank you for coming by. It's always nice to see you.
DeleteI havenever used evaporated milk either, very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI think it helps keep them juicy. I love your recipes featuring refrigerated crescent rolls. They sound so yummy.
DeleteThese meatballs sound really good, and something to try with all the kids.
ReplyDeleteThey really are good, the kids would love them. Thanks so much for introducing me to Weekend Cooking.
DeleteI too haven't used evaporated milk in my meatballs. Hummm
ReplyDeleteTrust me, they're good. Your rabbit stew sounds delicious.
DeleteI haven't made meatballs in a long time. I bet these would be great with spaghetti or any kind of sauce.
ReplyDeleteThey are. I've tried them with brown gravy too. Yum. Your recipe for Mandarin Orange cake has my mouth watering :)
DeleteWonder 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?
ReplyDeleteThey freeze very well. Thanks so much for stopping by.
DeleteI will have to try this recipe! It sounds like something my husband will love- and it doesn't sound too hard to make. :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not hard at all. You'll have to let me know if he likes them :)
DeleteThese sound really good. Such a simple sauce too.
ReplyDeleteThey are, and so super easy. Thanks for stopping by, Holly.
