  • 1(14 ounce) canevaporated milk
  • ¼cupdry bread crumbs, or as needed
  • 2tablespoonsWorcestershire sauce, divided
  • 1(1 ounce) packageonion soup mix
  • 2cupsketchup
  • 1cupbrown sugar
  • ½cupport wine

  • Directions

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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).



    Recipe Tip

    If you want to make fresh bread crumbs, use one slice of bread.
