Ingredients

• Meatballs:
• 1 1/2 lb ground beef
• 3/4 cup quick oats
• 1 cup milk
• 3 Tbsp very finely minced onion
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• Plenty of ground black pepper
• 4 Tbsp canola oil
• 1/2 cup flour
• Sauce:
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 3 Tbsp distilled white vinegar
• 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 4 to 6 Tbsp minced onion
• Dash of Tabasco

Preparation

Step 1

1. Meatballs: In a bowl, combine the ground beef and oats. Pour in the milk, then add the onion and salt. Add the black pepper, then stir to combine. Roll the mixture into tablespoon-size balls and refrigerate them for 30 to 45 minutes.
2. Heat oven to 350F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Spread the flour on a plate. Dredge the meatballs in the flour, then brown them in batches until light brown. As they brown, place them in a rectangular baking dish.
3. Sauce: Stir in the ingredients and drizzle over the meatballs.
4. Bake for about 45 minutes or until bubbly and hot. Serve to ravenous nursing mothers... or any other hungry human in your life. Delicious!
