Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 3/4 cup quick oats

- 1 cup ketchup
- 4 to 6 tablespoons minced onion
- 3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar

Instructions
- For the meatballs: In bowl, combine the ground beef and oats. Pour in the milk, and then add the onions, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Roll the mixture into tablespoon-size balls and refrigerate them for 30 to 45 minutes to firm.

OH WOW!! Something about the milk and oats that make these tender and melt in your mouth! I doubled the Meatballs recipe and tripled the sauce. I also added extra seasoning to everything and a couple cloves of garlic to the meat. I used an ice cream scoop to form the balls. These are NOT Italian style/flavor meatballs. More of a tangy sweet n sour/BBQ flavor to them. Make em’ you’ll love em!
Formed these into patties for sliders & they helped me win a hamburger contest in my cooking class 🙂
These are my “go to” meatballs. I love meatballs (don’t know why). I’ve not tried it with the sauce, but I use them for everything.
simple and tasty as always from Ree! I skipped the flour dredging step and instead I baked them on a parchment lined sheet pan for 15 minutes at 400F. Tossed them in a 2-step BBQ sauce: mix about a cup of original BBQ sauce with equal amount of grape jelly. Bake till heated through at 350 as directed.
Has anyone made it with Frozen Meatballs? I have a bag in the freezer and would like to use them for something other than Spaghetti and Sweet and Sour Meatballs.
Mmmm
I made the comfort meatballs for 25 people. Not a drop left. This is an awesome recipe. I would give it 6 stars.
Wonderfully delicious my family loves it
