Ingredients for Bbq Meatballs Egg Noodles

  • Ground Chuck
  • Skim Milk
  • Old Fashioned Oatmeal
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Onions
  • White Vinegar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 lb egg noodles

How to Make Bbq Meatballs Egg Noodles

  1. Finely mince 1 medium onion.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, the minced onion, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 cup rolled oats.
  3. Gradually add 1/4 cup milk to the meat mixture, mixing until it just holds its shape. Do not overmix.
  4. Roll the mixture into 3/4-inch to 1-inch meatballs.
  5. Arrange the meatballs in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. **Make the BBQ Sauce:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1 cup ketchup, and 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce.
  7. Pour the BBQ sauce evenly over the meatballs in the baking dish.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes.
  9. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 70-75 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  10. While the meatballs bake, cook 1 lb egg noodles according to package directions. Start cooking the noodles about 30 minutes before the meatballs are expected to be finished.
  11. Serve the BBQ meatballs over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
