MEATBALLS:

3 lbs. ground beef
1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
1 c. oatmeal
1 c. cracker crumbs
2 eggs
1/2 c. onion, chopped
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. chili powder

SAUCE:

2 c. catsup
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. liquid smoke, or to taste
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 c. onion, chopped

To make meatballs, combine all ingredients (mixture will be soft) and shape into walnut-sized balls. Place meatballs in a single layer on wax paper-lined cookie sheets; freeze until solid. Store frozen meatballs in freezer bags until ready to cook. To make sauce, combine all ingredients and stir until sugar is dissolved. Place frozen meatballs in a 13 x 9 inch baking pan; pour on the sauce. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Yield 80 meatballs.
