Moist & Tender Meatballs image

These meatballs are great for a busy family. I make up a batch and freeze them in baggies with 15-20 per bag, then fix them on busy weeknights because they do not need to be defrosted. The meatballs are so tender and flavorful and everyone loves them.

Time 1h30m

Yield 50-60 Meatballs, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lbs fresh lean ground beef
1 (12 ounce) evaporated milk
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup Ritz cracker crumbs
2 large eggs
1/2 cup onion (minced)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (more if desired)
1 dash Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 dash hot sauce (optional)
salt & pepper
1 (12 ounce) jar bottled barbecue sauce (Kraft Spicy Honey)

Steps:

  • Mix all meatball ingredients well. Roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Place cookie sheet in the freezer. When meatballs are frozen, place in serving-size baggies (plan on 5-7 meatballs per person). (Using a Food Saver works well). Freeze until ready to cook (do not defrost). Place frozen meatballs in a covered casserole dish or dutch oven and pour bottled barbecue sauce (such as Kraft Spicy Honey) or the sauce of your choice over meatballs and bake covered at 350 for 1 hour. Serve over rice or make meatball sandwiches.
