The sweet, thick barbecue sauce clings to large tasty meatballs. This recipe is one of my favorites to take to potlucks or to serve as a meal after harvest.

Sweet Barbecue Meatballs
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 egg
1/3 cup evaporated milk
¾ tsp. chili powder
¾ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1 ½ lbs. ground pork
1 cup ketchup
¾ cup packed brown sugar

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Crumble pork over mixture and mix well. Shape into 2 inch balls. Place meatballs on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 375 F. for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160 F. Drain on paper towels. Transfer to an ungreased 2 quart baking dish.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine ketchup, brown sugar, liquid smoke if desired and lemon juice; cook and stir until brown sugar is dissolved. Pour over meatballs. Bake, uncovered, at 375 F. for 10-15 minutes longer or until heated through. 6 servings
