Great for a potluck! Serves 36. Cut recipe in half, for half the amount (obviously)

Ingredients

• 3 lbs lean ground beef
• 2 1/2 Cups dry bread crumbs
• 2 Eggs
• 1/4 Cup and 2 Tablespoons grated onion
• 1 (1 oz) packages dry Ranch-style dressing mix
• 1/4 Cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 1/2 Cups cola
• 1 Cup chopped onion
• 1 Cup chopped green bell pepper
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375.

In a large bowl, mix together beef, bread crumbs, egg, grated onion, and ranch dressing mixes, until well blended. Shape into 1 inch meatballs, and place on 2, 10 X 15 inch rimmed baking sheets.

Bake for 30 minutes, turning them halfway through. While meatballs are roasting, mix together the ketchup, cider vinegar, cola, chopped onion, and green pepper in a slow cooker. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.

Remove meatballs from baking sheet, and place in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours, then remove lid and cook and additional 15 minutes before serving.
