This probably won't work for you right now but it is a Make-Ahead recipe that will help you the next time you have a craving. Also for a fast meal after the little one comes. Good luck with your pregnancy

Make-Ahead Barbecued Meatballs

Meatballs:
3 pounds Ground Beef
1 cup Quick Cooking Oats
1 cup Crackers -- crushed
1/2 cup Onion -- chopped
12 ounces Evaporated Milk -- (1 can)
2 Eggs
2 teaspoons Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 teaspoons Salt -- or to taste
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

Combine all ingredients for meatballs. Mixture will be soft. Shape into walnut-sized balls. Arrange in a single layer on wax paper-lined cookie sheets. Freeze until solid and store frozen meatballs in freezer bags.
Makes about 80 meatballs.

Barbecue Sauce:
2 cups Ketchup
1/2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke Flavoring
1/4 cup Onion -- chopped
1 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Combine all ingredients for barbecue sauce and stir until sugar dissolves.

To serve, place 20 - 30 meatballs in a 9 x 13 inch pan. Pour sauce over meatballs.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.

Note: These are very versatile and may be added to spaghetti sauce and simmered until done, or cooked with a mushroom soup sauce in the oven and served with mashed potatoes.

Answer 2

* 1 pound (450 g) not-too-lean ground beef
* 3/4 cup day-old Italian bread, crust removed and discarded, and crumb shredded
* Milk (you'll want to have a pint - 500 ml - handy)
* A large egg or 2 small ones
* 1/4 cup minced parsley
* Salt & pepper to taste
* A healthy pinch of nutmeg or whatever other ground spice suits your fancy (optional)
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* Bread crumbs for rolling the meatballs (optional)

PREPARATION:
Soak the bread in enough milk so it is thoroughly wet through, 3-5 minutes. Drain it well, squeezing it gently to remove most of the milk -- you want the crumbs moist but not dripping. Combine the crumbs with the ground meat, the egg, the minced parsley, the nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste, and knead the mixture well.

Then shape it into so many balls about an inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. If you like, roll them in bread crumbs.

Set a large skillet to heat with the oil, and add the meatballs. Cook, stirring, over a medium flame until they are browned on all sides, then pour in a half cup or slightly more milk. Partially cover and simmer the meatballs until they are done and the sauce is considerably thickened. Serve, spooning the sauce over the meatballs, with a salad, spinach, or mashed potatoes.
