Easy Recipes:
We all love easy recipes that taste amazing and my meatball recipe definitely falls into that category. Easy, healthy, made from scratch and you can make a large recipe and freeze some for later!
Easy Meatball Recipe:
You will need:
- 3# of hamburger
- 1 13oz can of evaporated milk
- 2 c. quick oats
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoon chilli powder
Mix together until well blended and form into 1-2 in. meatballs. Place meatballs into 9×13 glass baking dish. This recipe will completely fill your pan, making it an ideal meal for large families.
For your Meat Ball Sauce Recipe, you will need:
- dash of onion powder
- 2 cups of ketchup (I like the organic brand found at Meijer)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 8 oz can of tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoon liquid smoke (optional)
Mix all of the sauce ingredients together and gently pour or spoon over the top of your meatballs.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Yields 12+ servings
- 3# of hamburger
- 1 13oz can of evaporated milk
- 2 c. quick oats
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoon chilli powder
- dash of onion powder
- 2 cups of ketchup (I like the organic brand found at Meijer)
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 8 oz can of tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoon liquid smoke (optional)
- Mix together until well blended and form into 1-2 in. meatballs.
- Place meatballs into 9x13 glass baking dish. This recipe will completely fill your pan, making it an ideal meal for large families.
- Make sauce and pour over meatballs.
If you have a smaller family and don’t want to be eating left-overs, or if you just want to make a freezer meal, it’s easy to do. Line a cookie sheet with dry wax paper and put your raw, unbaked meatballs on it. Freeze for 4-6 hours, then place in freezer bags. The sauce can be poured into a freezer bag or container and frozen as well. Use within 2 months.
Our family loves this recipe, the meatball sauce is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Look below for some other meal ideas!

Any substitute for the evaporated milk? Looking for dairy free…

Just wanted to stop by and let you know you’re featured on Share Your Stuff Tuesday this week! 🙂
I was planning on making several trays of these for a bridal shower in June. Can I make them, bake them and freeze them so all I have to do is defrost and reheat for ease on the day of the shower. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think you could bake them and freeze them no problem. Just bake them in the sauce, let cool and put plastic wrap over the top and then tin foil. I wouldn’t freeze them for more than a month though 🙂
It’s just me and my son so I will want to reduce the recipe to just one pound of meat, but I look forward to trying these.
Dang miss kendra.the meatball recipe is so delicious and the sauce speaks for itself. I like this site it’s a keeper.
