Barbequed Meatballs

This is the appetizer we enjoy every year. Always a hit. It started in the Home Town Cafe in Alden, MN, which was owned by Grandma and Grandpa Hanson. They made these meatballs every week and served them on their Sunday Buffet.

5 lbs lean hamburger---form into small balls and brown in frying pan.
Transfer browned meatballs into a large roasting pan.

Mix together in saucepan:
28 oz. catsup
1-8 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 c. worchester sauce
1/4 c. vinegar
1/4 c. lemon juice
1 tsp liquid smoke--be very careful with this.
1/2 c. honey (optional)
Heat just to boiling.
Pour over meatballs.

Bake meatballs at low temp (250 -325 or so) for 3-4 hours or more.

Or cook in crock pot for 3-4 hours or more.
Cool and store in refrigerator. It gets better the next day.

Freezes well.
