BBQ Meatballs

Hello my dear friends! I am so glad you came by to look at my new blog, and I hope you will enjoy what you find here. I love to cook, and I love to try out new recipes. So I thought I would bring my love of cooking to you. As I try out new recipes or make very familiar ones I will bring them here for you to try out and enjoy as I have. Please tell me what you think about it because I would love your feedback. Critique it and let me know your opinions or if I need to change something to make it easier for you. Thank you for all your support! :)

The first recipe I have to post is a new one I tried out the other day, and  I loved it. It is a keeper! The recipe is BBQ Meatballs, and I made more than what the recipe calls for. I doubled the recipe, and I would advise for larger families that they would need to do the same. This recipe doesn't call for a lot of ingredients so doubling it would be no problem. So I will not keep you waiting any longer... :)

BBQ Meatballs-

Meatballs:
1 & 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup green pepper
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 egg beaten

Sauce:
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons mustard

Serves 4-6

First step- Combine first five ingredients for meatballs. Mix well. (This is what it looks like combined. I omitted the pepper for my husband.)


Second Step- Shape balls and brown in skillet. (Here are what the balls look like when you put them in your skillet)




Now here are the balls browned.





Third Step- Drain off fat. (Here they are after I drained them)






Fourth Step- Place in slow cooker.




Fifth Step- Mix sauce ingredients and pour over meatballs. (This is what the sauce looks like.)





And this is what it looks like when I poured the sauce over the meatballs in the slow cooker.




Cook for 4-6 hours on low. Serve them over hot noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. (Here are the meatballs after cooking for several hours.)




And then this is your finished result. You can serve them with whatever you would like as I did here. They were delicious and I know your whole family will enjoy them! :)
