Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef

  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats

  • 6 ½ fluid ounces evaporated milk

  • 3/4 cup chopped onion, divided

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 cup ketchup

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring

  • ¼ teaspoon minced garlic

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.

  2. Combine ground beef, oats, evaporated milk, 1/2 cup onion, egg, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a bowl. Form into 1 1/2 inch balls; arrange in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.

  3. Combine ketchup, brown sugar, remaining 1/4 cup onion, liquid smoke, and garlic in a separate bowl; pour evenly over meatballs.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into centers reads at least 160 degrees F (72 degrees C), about 1 hour.
