Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Family Meatballs with Tangy Sauce.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light greasing to prevent sticking. This is where the magic will happen!
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, rolled oats, 6 tablespoons of chopped sweet onion, milk, salt, and black pepper. Get your hands in there and mix everything together until it's well combined. The oats will add a lovely texture to the meatballs!
Step 3
Now, roll the mixture into generous 2-inch meatballs. Place them snugly in the prepared baking dish, making sure they have a little space to breathe as they cook.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, white sugar, 4 1/2 tablespoons of chopped sweet onion, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. This sauce is going to bring everything together!
Step 5
Pour the tangy sauce evenly over the meatballs, ensuring each one is coated in that delicious goodness.
Step 6
Slide the baking dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 1 1/2 hours. You'll know it's ready when the sauce is bubbling and thickened, and the meatballs are cooked through. An instant-read thermometer should read at least 160°F (70°C) when inserted into the center of a meatball. This is the moment of truth!
Step 7
Once done, take a moment to admire your creation. Serve these savory meatballs with a side of mashed potatoes or over a bed of pasta for a comforting meal that will warm your heart.
