Comfort Meatballs

These are so good and easy to make. The recipe comes from The Pioneer Woman.

Meatballs:

1 1/2 lb ground beef

3/4 cup quick oats

1 cup milk

3 Tbsp very finely minced onion

1 1/2 tsp salt

Plenty of ground black pepper

4 Tbsp canola oil

1/2 cup flour

Sauce:

1 cup ketchup

1 Tbsp sugar

3 Tbsp distilled white vinegar

2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

4 to 6 Tbsp minced onion

Dash of Tobasco

1. Meatballs: In a bowl, combine the ground beef and oats. Pour in the milk, then add the onion and salt. Add the black pepper, then stir to combine. Roll the mixture into tablespoon-size balls and refrigerate them for 30 to 45 minutes.

2.  Heat oven to 350 degrees. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Spread the flour on a plate. Dredge the meatballs in the flour, then brown them in batches until light brown. As they brown, place them in a rectangular baking dish.

3.  Sauce: Stir the ingredients and drizzle over the meatballs.

4. Bake for about 45 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
