Swedish Meatballs

I tried something new tonight and my family LOVED it! The boys ate at least half of their body weight. :) If you like meatloaf, you will like this.

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1/4 c. milk
1 c. bread crumbs or oatmeal (I had a loaf of bread that didn't turn out in my breadmaker, so I blended it, added parsley, garlic salt, onion powder, and seasoning salt and tossed it in a large ziplock bag. It turned out really good.)
1/4 t. pepper
1/2 t. garlic salt
1 egg
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 t. chili powder or taco seasoning

Mix all ingredients and shape into balls about 2 inches in size. Put in baking dish 1 layer flat.

Sauce
1 c. ketchup
1 small can tomato sauce
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 t. liquid smoke (I didn't have this, but it still tasted great.)

Mix to disolve sugar and pour over raw meatballs. Cook at 350 for 45 minutes. Serve over rice.

    I saw it by the bbq sauces. It comes in a bottle that looks like a soy sauce bottle. I think it is just a flavor that tastes smokey. It was only $1.50 or something, but I hate buying things that I only use for one recipe, so I did without.
