Oven Baked Meatballs & the dog trainer




First, I want to share my Oven Baked Meatballs recipe.  There is nothing fancy about this but I CRAVE these.  I found the recipe a few years back in my MOMS Club group's cookbook.  I love to have them over mashed potatoes.




Oven Baked Meatballs


Meatballs:
1 lb. lean ground beef
1/4 c. ketchup
1 T. mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
Dash Garlic Powder


Sauce:
10 3/4 oz. can cream of chicken soup (I use reduced fat)
1/2 c. shredded cheddar
1/3 c. milk
Dash Tabasco Sauce (I add several dashes;)


Combine meatball ingredients.  Shape into walnut-sized meatballs.  Place in casserole and bake, uncovered, at 350* for 30 minutes.  Drain meatballs.  


Mix sauce ingredients together and pour over meatballs.  Bake an additional 10-15 minutes more.  


Serve with rice or mashed potatoes.




Also, here are a few pictures of Quinn, 'training' the dog.
