How to cook deliciously - Grandma's Christmas Meatballs

1. Stage

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.

2. Stage

Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

3. Stage

Form meat mixture into approximately 36 small meatballs. Place meatballs onto a baking sheet.

4. Stage

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.

5. Stage

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.

6. Stage

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).
