Photo: Comfort Meatballs Recipe
Ingredients
Meatballs:
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 3/4 cup quick oats
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons very finely minced onion
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- Plenty of ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Sauce:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 4 to 6 tablespoons minced onion
- 3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Dash of hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Directions
For the meatballs: In bowl, combine the ground beef and oats. Pour in the milk, and then add the onions, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Roll the mixture into tablespoon-size balls and refrigerate them for 30 to 45 minutes to firm.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge the meatballs in the flour, and then brown the meatballs in batches until light brown. As they brown, place them into a rectangular baking dish.
For the sauce: Stir together the ketchup, onions, vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Drizzle the sauce evenly on the meatballs.
Bake until bubbly and hot, about 45 minutes.

Love this recipe for meatballs. The oat filler with milk as a binder instead of breadcrumbs with egg is genius! You don't even notice the oats after the meatballs are cooked. The recipe for the sauce is great as well, both tangy and sweet (like bbq sauce.

I made these for our annual 4th of July picnic and they went crazy over them. So, I made 180 of them and 144 vegetarian for 70 ladies for my retreat this coming weekend. I am sure they will love them. I forgot to dredge them in flour before I browned them, hope it won't change them. Will report back! Thank you PW

So yummy! I made mine twice as big (2 T, and since my oven isn't working, I made the sauce in a large skillet, added the meatballs after they were browned, and simmered them with the lid on until they were done. Maybe 10 minutes or so? I also added a bit of extra water in there so they wouldn't stick. And I'd forgotten about needing to chill them, but they worked fine anyway.
