Ingredients

For the meatballs

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the barbecue sauce

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 packet onion soup mix less to taste as it's fairly salty
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Add ground beef, oats, milk, Worcestershire sauce, egg, onion, and garlic to a large bowl and mix well. 
  • Form mixture into 12 evenly sized, loosely compacted balls.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the meatballs to the skillet, working in batches if needed, and cook for 3 minutes per side or until browned.
  • While meatballs are cooking, whisk together the ketchup, water, and onion soup mix in a small bowl.
  • Spoon the mixture over the browned meatballs and place in the oven to bake for 20 minutes. Alternately, transfer the meatballs to a casserole dish and cover with the sauce before baking.

Notes

I sprinkled the tops with parsley to brighten them up a bit.
