BBQ Meatballs

These are the best meatballs ever!  I always plan to make a big batch and freeze half, but we never end up having that many leftovers.


BBQ Meatballs
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
3/4 cup oats
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons very finely minced onion
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
plenty of ground black pepper
4 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup flour
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4-6 tablespoons finely minced onion
dash of Tabasco

In a bowl, combine ground beef and oats.  Pour in milk, then add the onion, salt, and pepper.  Mix thoroughly. Roll into tablespoon sized balls and refrigerate 30-45 minutes.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat.  Dredge meatballs in flour and brown in oil until lightly brown.  Place in a 9x13 inch baking dish.  Stir together ketchup, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, onion, and Tabasco and pour over meatballs.  Bake for 45 minutes or until bubbly and hot.  Serve with mashed potatoes.
