Grandma's Savory Meatballs




Sometimes it happens, I need to fix a favorite dish from my Grandma's kitchen.  Today was one of those days.  Sunday was a day to take the 45 minute drive to Grandma's.  Memories of card playing, singing songs but most of all the food!  Here is my family's favorite meatballs and my creation of baked home fries.

Savory Meatballs
Ingredients:
Meatballs
1 1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 c. milk
1/2 pacakge soda crackers, crushed
Pepper to your liking
Sauce:
1 c. Ketchup
1/2 c. Water
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. worcestorshire sauce
2 tbs. vinegar
1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheit.  Mix meat, milk, and soda crackers, form into 1 1/2" balls, place in 9x9 pan. 
2. Mix sauce ingredients together and pour evenly over meatballs. Bake for 45 minutes.

Baked Home Fries

1.  Spray jelly roll pan with non stick spray.  Scrub potatoes with vegetable scrub brush.  Cut potatoes into strips, size can be to your liking.  If I am in a hurry, I cut them fairly thin.  If I am going to out potates in oven with meatballs, I cut them a bit thicker so that they finish at same time as mymeatballs.
2. Lightly spray too of fries with ninstick spray, this will help to brown potatoes when baking.  Sprinkle with salt or other seasonings.  I like chili on the fries or garlic powder.

**Be creative!  I guarantee you will like them better than fast food fries!
