Homemade BBQ Meatballs
Juicy, tender BBQ meatballs baked in a sweet-and-smoky sauce. An easy dinner that my family loves! Freezer-friendly, too!

- 2 lbs . ground beef (I used 85/15)
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 cups ketchup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Steps
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together all meatball ingredients. Roll into golf-ball sized balls; divide between two smaller casserole dishes OR arrange all of them in a larger 9×13 baking dish. (I have a family of 4; I divide this into two pans so I can freeze one for later. But my sister does this all in one large pan for her family of 6.)
Whisk sauce together. Pour the sauce over the meatballs.
Bake meatballs and sauce for 1 hour. Remove from the oven; they’ll be bubbly and some of the oil will have separated. Add 2-3 tablespoons water and give the pan a stir; the water will emulsify the sauce so it clings to the meatballs perfectly.
Serve meatballs with mashed potatoes and green beans! These are so tender and so good. Yum.
