Family Secret Meatballs and Sauce image

My husband would eat this for dinner every night if I would let him. It took his family 10 years of marriage to share this secret recipe with me (apparently, I wasn't family yet), so now I'm sharing it with the world. Hope you like it!

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds ground beef
¾ cup rolled oats
6 tablespoons chopped sweet onion (such as a Walla Walla)
1 cup milk
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ cups ketchup
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons white sugar
4 ½ tablespoons chopped sweet onion (such as a Walla Walla)
4 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
¾ cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Mix together the ground beef, rolled oats, 6 tablespoons of sweet onion, milk, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined. Roll the mixture into 2-inch meatballs, and place meatballs into the prepared baking dish.
  • In a bowl, mix the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, 4 1/2 tablespoons of sweet onion, apple cider vinegar, and water until the sugar has dissolved, and pour the sauce evenly over the meatballs.
  • Bake the meatballs and sauce in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbling and thickened and the meatballs are no longer pink inside, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

These meatballs were a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would try them again with a different recipe for the meatballs.
