Hazel's Meatballs

Recipe View Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the beaten eggs, minced onion, ground beef, milk, and salt. Mix lightly with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Sprinkle the crushed cracker crumbs over the meat mixture and gently fold them in until evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, form the mixture into approximately 40 meatballs. Place them in a 9x13-inch baking dish, arranging them in a single layer. (15 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, distilled white vinegar, and prepared yellow mustard until the brown sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the sauce evenly over the meatballs, ensuring that each meatball is generously coated. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. The sauce should be thick and caramelized. (60 minutes)

Recipe View Let the meatballs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken further. (10 minutes)
