Meatballs

These meatballs are really easy to make and are good to keep in your freezer to have any time. Plus they can be used with many different sauces. This is a recipe that you will make ahead of time though.

3 lbs ground beef
5 oz. can evaporated milk
1 cup dry oatmeal
1 cup cracker crumbs
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. chili powder

1. Combine all meatball ingredients. Shape into walnut sized balls. Place on waxed paper-lined cookie sheets. Freeze. When fully frozen, place in plastic bag and store in freezer until needed.
2. When ready to use, Place frozen meatballs in slow cooker. Pour any type of sauce whether it be barbecue or red sauce. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Stir, then turn it to low and cook 6-9 hours. This recipe makes a lot of meatballs. I didn't even use half of the meatballs and it served 6 people with leftovers.
