Cheesy Meatballs

Ingredients:
· 1 egg
· ½ cup milk
· 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
· 4 tablespoons chili powder, divided
· 1 teaspoon salt
· 1 teaspoon pepper
· 1 ½ cups Ritz crackers (about 1 sleeve)
· 2 pounds ground beef
· 1 pound bulk pork sausage
· 2 cups shredded process cheese (like Velvetta)
· 2 cans (10.75 ounce) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
· 2 ½ cups water
· 1 cup packed brown sugar

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk egg, milk, onion, 2 tablespoons chili powder, salt and pepper; stir in crushed crackers. Add beef, sausage and cheese; mix lightly but thoroughly.
2. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls. Place meatballs on greased racks in 15x10x1-inch baking pans. Bake 15-18 minutes or until browned.
3. Meanwhile, in a 5 or 6 quart slow cooker, combine soup, water, brown sugar and remaining chili powder. Gently stir in meatballs. Cook, covered on low for 4 to 5 hours or until meatballs are cooked through.
