Meatballs with Barbecue Sauce

Mix together:

1 1/2 lb (700g) ground beef
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs or cracker crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, minced)
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp chili powder
2 eggs

Shape meat mixture into meatballs. Brown in hot skillet, then place in baking dish. Mix sauce ingredients and pour over meatballs. Bake at 350*F (180*C) for 45-60 minutes.

Sauce:

2 cups ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp mustard
1/2 cup chopped onions

I often don’t want to use so much of my brown sugar for the sauce, so I will do 1/2 the sauce recipe and then make up the difference with barbecue sauce from Leader Price.

These are really good served with rice or mashed potatoes.
