In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.

Simply seasoned meatballs are simmered in a beer and ketchup sauce in the crock pot until tender and saucy.

1 bottle (28 ounce size) ketchup
2 bottles (12 ounce size) beer
1 1/2 pound ground beef
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine the ketchup and beer in a crock pot. Mix well, cover, and turn the crock pot to high, and allow the mixture to simmer while you make the meatballs.
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, and chopped onion. Mix well and form into meatballs about 3/4-inch in diameter.
Place the meatballs in a 9x13 baking dish. Place the dish in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or until well browned. Remove the meatballs from the dish with a slotted spoon and add to the crock pot. Gently stir to coat the meatballs in the sauce.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 2-3 hours or until the sauce has thickened.
Serve the meatballs as an appetizer or over pasta or on buns for a meatball sandwich.
