This is a recipe I found in a local cookbook, from the town of Waverly, Illinois. I have taken this to potlucks, parties, served it at home - It always gets great reviews!
Barbequed Meatball Sauce
2 cups ketchup
1 ½ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup minced onion
I buy a bag of frozen meatballs (from Wally World), cook according to directions in oven. I then mix up the ingredients for the sauce. I then place both sauce and meatballs in crockpot on high for 30 - 45 minutes and then turn to low. They are ready to serve and delicious.
Food Storage: I bought a small bottle of liquid smoke and it has lasted me forever. All the other ingredients I use frequently for cooking or already have in food storage. If you were invited last minute, you could cook the meatballs in the microwave, make the sauce on the stovetop and then take it in the crockpot. Easy.
