tell me about it

Another on the list of things to make, right after I recreate my workplace’s famous mushroom melba toasties… :)

INGREDIENTS

* 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
* 1 egg, lightly beaten
* 1 cup quick cooking oats
* 6 1/2 ounces evaporated milk
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1 tablespoon chili powder
* 1/2 cup chopped onion
*
* 1 cup ketchup
* 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 1/4 cup chopped onion
* 1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
2. In a bowl, mix beef, egg, oats, evaporated milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, and 1/2 cup onion. Form into 1 1/2 inch balls and arrange in a single layer in the baking dish.
3. In a separate bowl, mix ketchup, garlic, sugar, 1/4 cup onion, and liquid smoke. Pour evenly over the meatballs.
4. Bake uncovered 1 hour in the preheated oven, until the minimum internal temperature of a meatball reaches 160 degrees F (72 degrees C).
