6 lbs of lean ground beef
1 loaf of stale whole wheat bread
6 eggs
1 cup of your favourite bbq sauce
1 huge Spanish onion
Put the hamburger in a huge bowl. Slice the bread into 1/2" cubes and then rub between hands to make large crumbs. It is very important that you use fresh bread and NOT commercially prepared bread crumbs. Break the eggs in on top then add the bbq sauce. Chop the onion and add to the rest. Mix it all up really well with your hands.
Make the mixture up into balls about 1 1/2" in diameter. Layer the balls in a large roasting pan or lasagne pan. Roast in a 350 degree oven about 20 minutes. Shake well to roll over half way through cooking. Do one layer at a time. Do NOT put a layer of meatballs on top of another layer. This might take a while longer but it is worth it, honest. When all the meatballs have been cooked this way, then you can layer them in a big roasting pan. Pour your sauce over each layer. Cook undisturbed for another 30 minutes. If the top starts to get too brown, put the lid on for the rest of the cooking.
NOTE: If you are making meatballs to freeze then cook first. Put a single layer of meatballs on cookie sheets. Make sure they are not touching. Freeze overnight. Once they are frozen you can package them up into servings.
SAUCE
1 bottle of your favourite BBQ Sauce - we use Heinz Garlic. (to equal 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup molasses
2 cups hot water
1 tablespoon Louisiana Hot Sauce or any hot sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon soya sauce
salt and pepper
Mix all ingredients together well. Pour over the meat balls layer by layer making sure you have some left to pour over the top.
