Western Meatballs

• MEATBALLS
• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups dry breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• SAUCE
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 beef bouillon cube, dissolved in
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2/3 cup white vinegar
• 2 teaspoons dry mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

1. MEATBALLS: Combine all ingredients, roll into 1 1/2-inch balls, place on cookie sheet and bake in 350 degree F oven for about 20 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer from cookie sheet to a casserole dish or small roaster. (Also works very well in a slow cooker.).
2. SAUCE: Combine all ingredients. Boil to thicken. Pour over meatballs and bake at 325 degrees F for approximately one hour. (If using slow cooker, just pour sauce over meatballs without boiling and cook for 4-6 hours on low.).
3. NOTE: Can also use moose burger, one pound ground beef and one pound ground pork, one pound moose burger and one pound ground pork -- you get the idea. Very versatile.
