Barbecue Meatballs

I hope you are not getting tired of meatball recipes.  This is another way of cooking the basic meatball.  I actually doubled the meatball recipe, planning on freezing half.  My family enjoyed this dish so much that I ended up using all of the meatballs with nothing left over.  Needless to say it was a huge hit at our house.

Barbecue Meatballs

Make a batch of meatballs. You can find my favorite recipe here.

Place meatballs in the bottom of a 9 x13 casserole dish and bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Remove from oven and drain grease.

In a saucepan combine the following ingredients:

1 cup ketchup

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional: I just love the flavor)

1/4 tsp. liquid smoke (I did not have this and it was not missed.)

Bring to a boil and then simmer for 2 minutes. Pour over the meatballs.  You may need to stir a bit to get them meatballs covered in the sauce.

Return to oven and bake 10-12 more minutes.

Serve!!
