I got this recipe many years ago from "The Pioneer Woman Cooks" cookbook and it's become a "classic" in our house. The sauce is so simple and SO good. It's great for potlucks, usually the first thing to go :) Here's the link from the Pioneer Woman's blog that includes photos for each step: thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/03/bbq-meatballs-comfort-food-to-the-max/
