Ingredients

Meatballs

1 lb. lean ground beef

1/2 lb. lean ground pork

1 lb. veal

4 slices white bread (Sunbeam is best)

3/4 cup whole milk

1 finely chopped onion

2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 minced glove of garlic

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon allspice

2 Eggs slightly beaten

Barbecue Sauce

1/3 cup minced onion

3 Tablespoons butter

1 Cup ketchup

1/3 cup white vinegar or fresh lemon juice

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 cup water

2 teaspoons prepared mustard

2 tablespoons worchestershire sauce

1/8 teaspoon salt

Meatballs

-Have meats ground together 2 or 3 times. (I use an old-fashioned meat grinder because my deli won't do it for me.)

- In a seperate bowl, tear bread into small-medium pieces, and milk, and stir together to make a "paste".

-Add to meat mixture in mixing bowl.

-Lightly mix in the rest of the seasonings and the beaten eggs.

-Form into 1-inch balls.

-Set on wax paper-covered baking sheet and let stand for about 30 minutes. (Lets the seasoning marry with the meat.)

**While meatballs are marrying, you can start the barbecue sauce**

-Brown meatballs in 1/2 inch of hot fat(grammy's way) or oil. Pour off fat and put meatballs back into covered skillet.

-Add barbecue sauce and cook about 30 minutes.

Barbecue Sauce

-Saute onions in butter until lightly brown.

-Add remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

TO FREEZE: Cool and package in freezer containers. To serve, remove from freezer and either but them in a covered chafing dish or skillet over medium heat until hot (about 25 minutes). I don't recommend microwaving to thaw because it changes the texture of the meatball signifigantly.

Alterations

dugger 2 years, 4 months ago said:
I made two minor alterations. Due to the fact that I recently bought half a cow and now have about 80 lbs of hamburger to use, I replaced the veal with ground beef. Not that I think it was better but it did work out fine. Also I used 1/2 cup of ketchup and 1/2 cup of Chili Sauce. After making all of the barbecue sauces and such I was running out of ketchup... :)
