3 Tbsp white vinegar
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
4 dashes Frank’s hot sauce
Mix ground meat, oats, milk, onions, salt and pepper. Roll into small – medium meatballs. Place on a cookie sheet and freeze for 5 minutes.
No need for a freezer in Calgary!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Heat frying pan on medium/high heat with 1-2 Tbsp canola oil. Dredge meatballs in flour and fry until just starting to brown. Place meatballs in a 13X9 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Mix sauce ingredients and pour over meatballs. Bake for 45 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes. YUM!

thnx bro
Mmmmm, they look good.
I never make anything with beef anymore, but these almost tempt me!
I bet you could make them just as well with ground turkey. I think the oats and milk would keep them moist. You might want to kick the spices up a notch, though, because turkey can be a bit bland.
