I've found these colorful meatballs keep well in a slow cooker for a no-fuss meal. We enjoy them served over rice or noodles.

Ingredients

1 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 envelope onion soup mix
2 pounds ground beef
SAUCE:
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1-1/2 cups ketchup
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the milk, Worcestershire sauce and soup mix. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls.
Place meatballs on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 5-8 minutes or until browned. In a Dutch oven, combine sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; add meatballs. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour or until the meat is no longer pink.

These meatballs were mighty tasty. We actually used them to make meatball mini subs as an appetizer for a football party. Did not make enough. They were gone before the first quarter. Now I always double the recipe. Hot meatballs with the sauce on a mini crusty roll and a slice of provolone. MMMMMMMM.....
