Meatballs and BBQ Sauce

My husband, Red, loves beef and anything BBQ. He would eat BBQ sauce on anything if he was allowed.  I kinda threw everything together one time in hopes it would be the best meatball ever, and though it might not be the best, its pretty dang fantastic. Make the BBQ sauce to go with and this is total man food.  Great for a husband's birthday, football party or whatever.  They're great for making a big batch ahead of time and freezing them.  Just pull them out whenever you need a meatball fix or to throw in a pasta dish.  Can't go wrong here!

For the meatballs you'll need:
2 lbs of ground meat, I use ground round
2 eggs, beaten (1 egg per pound of meat)
1/2 cup of milk
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup of onion flakes
3 tblsps ground black pepper
1/4 cup of parsley flakes
2 tblsps garlic powder

In a food processor, pulse the ground meat around for 2 minutes.  You want to get it finely ground.  It won't have much texture left to it.  Place the meat in a separate bowl and combine all ingredients with the meat.  Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet.  Then, put the cookie sheet with the meatballs on it in the freezer to firm them up for about 20 minutes. 

Heat a couple tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium low heat.  Dredge the meatballs in flour one at a time and add them to the skillet.  Cook thoroughly. 

For the sauce:
2 cups of ketchup
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
4 tablespoons of onion flakes
1 tsp of vinegar
worcestershire sauce to taste

Add all ingredients to a sauce pan and heat through.  You may want to adjust the brown sugar or onion flakes.  You may also add extra vinegar and do an adjustment on the brown sugar if you like a more vinegar based BBQ sauce.
