Sweet Meatballs

I love this recipe because it is so easy, all the ingredients are really normal (and usually around the house), and it tastes great!

Just a couple of hints:
#1 Use the leanest meat possible (the meatballs are just better that way).
#2 I usually double the amounts for the sauce. That way there is plenty of the sweet juice to pour over rice (or whatever you put with your meatballs). The sauce really is the best part of this recipe!

Meatballs:
1 to 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
3/4 c. rolled oats
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. salt
dash pepper
1 tsp Worchestershire sauce

Combine all ingredients; mix well. Form into 12 meatballs, each about 2" in diameter. Place in casserole dish, cover with sauce (below). Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Sauce:
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. vinegar
1 tsp prepared mustard
1/4 c. barbeque sauce
1 tsp. Worchestershire sauce

Combine ingredients and blend thoroughly. Heat and pour over meatballs.
