This recipe comes from Paula Deen's Magazine. I added green pepper to her recipe and I also put these meatballs in my crockpot after baking them instead of back in the oven.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (chuck)
1 lb ground sausage (jimmy dean)
1 small onion, diced up
1/2 green pepper, diced up
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs (japanese breadcrumbs)
1 (1 1/3 ounce) packet manwich sloppy joe mix
1 large egg
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup ketchup
3 -4 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2-1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400'
2. Lightly grease a foil lined baking sheet or use a lightly greased cooking rack inside a rimmed baking dish.
3. In a large bowl, combine the two meats (beef and sausage),onion, green pepper,panko breadcrumbs,and Sloppy Joe mix.
4. Stir in egg.
5. Shape mixture into 1 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until done.
7. If baking in oven with sauce,reduce oven temp to 350'
8. In a small bowl combine ketchup,tomato sauce, brown sugar,worcestershire sauce, mustard, and salt and black pepper.
9. In a 13x9 baking dish (lightly greased) add meatballs. Pour the sauce over meatballs and toss gently.
10. Cover and bake 30 minutes more.
11. Serve hot.
12. NOTE: If using crockpot, add baked meatballs to crockpot and pour sauce over top and gently toss to cover meatballs. Let simmer on low for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
