I got this recipe from PW awhile ago and love it! Now I wouldn't call it health food by any stretch, but it is tasty! Like meatloaf with a zing. Highly recommend. Once you have made it a few times, you can whip right through it and have it in the oven in a snap.
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
3/4 c. oats
1 c. milk
3 T. finely minced onion
1 1/2 t. salt
lots of pepper
Sauce:
1 c. ketchup
2 T. sugar
3 T. vinegar
2T. worcestershire sauce
4-6 T. chopped onion
Dash of Tabasco
Preheat oven to 350
Combine meatball ingredients. Roll into medium/small balls and place on cookie sheet. Hint: The less you handle it the tender the meatballs. I combine with my hands until barely mixed. Then use my cookie scoop to make them into balls. Place in freezer for 5 minutes. I have omitted the freezer part and it still works fine.
Remove from freezer and dredge in unseasoned flour. Brown meatballs in oil until just brown. Place into baking dish. Combine all sauce ingredients. I have been known to make 1 1/2 times the sauce recipe, because it is so good. And you can't ever have too much sauce. Pour over meatballs and bake for 45 minutes.
