This recipe came from my home ec teacher in high school. I enjoy making it because you can throw it in the oven and still have time to do other things.—Yvonne Nave, Lyons, Kansas

I didn't use this meatball recipe but the simple barbecue sauce I've made many times. I do use the liquid smoke. Delicious and simple. Thanks

Good seasoning combination. My whole family thought they were great, even my 3 yr old.

I found this recipe years ago and make it several times a year. I usually double it when I take it somewhere and they all disappear. Delicious - these are the best!

These are the best barbecued meatballs I have ever made. They are being added to our menu.

I found this recipe in a TOH magazine years ago. It was a huge it from the very first try. I cannot show up to a church dinner unless I have BBQ Meatballs.

Excellent! I decided to pull the meatballs out of oven after the 1st 18 min. I didn't want any of that delicious sauce to go to waste so I just simmered them in the pan I made the sauce in. My husband said they were delicious.

We loved this. The only thing I'll do different next time is make more sauce. It seemed like it could use more.

Can I substitute skim milk for the evaporated milk? If so, about how much would it be? I'm guessing 5 oz is about 1 c.

Thanks!
