Mom's BBQ MeatBalls

When I say 'Mom's BBQ Meatballs' I literally mean my own Mother's meatballs. This was put in our church cookbook waaaaay back in the 70's I think. The first few pages of my much loved cookbook are missing, so I'm not positive. But it must be older than me. ;) This is a family favorite. Not only the family I came from, but my kids absolutely love these meatballs.

1 1/2 lbs ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner, healthier option)

3/4 C. oatmeal

1 C. milk

1/4 of an onion, minced

2 tsp salt (or to taste)

1 tsp pepper (or to taste)

3 tsp. olive oil for pan

Combine all ingredients except for oil and form into 1- 2" balls. Brown in olive oil. Add sauce and simmer for approx. 30 minutes.

Sauce:

2 Tbsp. sugar

1 C. Ketchup

1/2 cup water

5 Tbsp vinegar

6 Tbsp freshly minced onion

YUM!
