Dinner 3 Hr. 30 Mins.

Ingredients

12

12 servings

  • 3 pounds ground beef chuck
  • 1 (14 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 0.25 cup dry bread crumbs, or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, divided
  • 1 (1 ounce) package onion soup mix
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup port wine

Instructions

  • Mix ground chuck, evaporated milk, bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and soup mix together in a bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Form meat mixture into approximately 36 small meatballs. Place meatballs onto a baking sheet.
  • Broil meatballs in the preheated oven until just browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn meatballs over and broil until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the oven and transfer meatballs to a slow cooker.
  • Combine ketchup, brown sugar, port wine, and remaining 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour sauce over meatballs in the slow cooker. Cook on High until meatballs are no longer pink in the middle and sauce is thick, at least 1 hour or longer if desired. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
