Water chestnuts lend a crunch to these moist ground beef and pork sausage meatballs. The baked bites are glazed with a sweet sauce made with cherry pie filling. They're perfect for potlucks or parties, notes Marina Castle-Henry of Burbank, California.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon soy sauce
7 slices bread, crusts removed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and chopped
cherry sauce:
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
1/3 cup apple juice
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup steak sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the milk, soy sauce, bread cubes, garlic salt and onion powder. Crumble beef and sausage over mixture and mix well. Stir in water chestnuts. Shape into 1-in. balls.
2. Line a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan with foil; place meatballs in pan. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 10 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°; drain.
3. In a large skillet, combine the sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened. Add meatballs; cook and stir until heated through. Yield: about 4 dozen.
