MOM'S MEATBALLS

This is a tangy meatball recipe from my mom. I grew up with it and love it!

Meatball ingredients:
*You can use precooked/frozen meatballs if you don't want to make them from scratch.

1 lb hamburger
1 c bread crumbs (I substituted this with a cup of oatmeal)
1 c finely chopped onions
1/2 c milk
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. pepper
* I didn't have nutmeg and they still turned out really good.

Meatball sauce ingredients:
3/4 c water
1/4 c white vinegar
1 c ketchup
2 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
2 heaping tsp. chili powder
3 TB sugar
1/3 c finely chopped onion
1/4 tsp. salt

Directions:
Thaw hamburger. Mix all hamburger ingredients together in a medium bowl. Use a plastic spoon or your clean hands. Set aside. If you use frozen/already cooked meatballs just thaw in refrigerator or microwave. In a crock pot combine all meatball sauce ingredients. Stir well. Put on warm or low setting. Cover with lid. Stirring occasionally. Start forming meatball mixture into golf ball sized balls. Place 8-12 meatballs on a microwave safe plate. Place in microwave for about 4 1/2 minutes or until cooked all the way through. As the meatballs are finished put in crock pot with the sauce. Once all meatballs are finished leave in crock pot to heat. Stirring occasionally. We like to eat it with rice or baked potatoes.
