Orange juice lends wonderful tang to these tender tasty meatballs. They're one of my most popular appetizers, and I can make them ahead, the pop in the oven an hour before serving. A do-ahead delight during this busy season! Ingredients:
1 egg white, lightly beaten |
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 12 squares) |
3 tablespoons milk |
2 teaspoons prepared mustard |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 pound ground beef |
3/4 pound ground turkey |
sauce: |
1 cup barbecue sauce |
1 can (6 ounces) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed |
1/4 cup water |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the egg white, cracker crumbs, milk, mustard and salt. Crumble beef and turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place meatballs on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until beat is no longer pink; drain.
2. Transfer meatballs to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Combine sauce ingredients; pour over meatballs. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour. Yield: 3 dozen.
