Fabulous Meatballs

This recipe was given to me by your Grandmother Clark. A great appetizer to serve when you entertain. Always a hit! 

Ingredients:
2 pounds extra lean ground beef
1 1/3 cups evaporated milk
1 1/2 envelopes Lipton's Onion Soup Mix
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 


Directions:
Mix above ingredients thoroughly using your hands. Form into small balls and broil in oven for 10-12 minutes or until balls are browned (cover a cookie sheet with foil to aid in clean up). Remove and drain on paper towels. 


Helpful Tip:
The above mixture will be of a "sticky" consistency and, therefore, hard to form into balls. I use a melon ball scoop or meat ball scoop to form balls (purchase at a kitchen shop, e.g., Williams Sonoma, BB & Beyond). Works nicely! 


Sauce:
Below ingredients are in proportion to cover two pounds of meatballs. Of course, if you need to make, for example, four pounds of meatballs, then you would double below: e.g., 4 cups ketchup, 2 cups of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce.

Ingredients:

2 cups ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 


Tip:
About an hour or so before serving, transfer balls and sauce into a slow cooker or dutch oven. Re-heat on very low heat. For a more formal gathering, keep warm by transferring to a warming tray.
