A game day staple, these meatballs are easy to prepare ahead. and will be devoured! *wink*
Ingredients:
1 lb. mild pork sausage
1 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup finely diced vidalia onion
1/2 teaspoon each - salt and pepper
optional: pretzel sticks
foil casserole dish
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients and shape into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place on a lightly greased jelly roll pan or cookie sheet. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes, turning after 15 minutes.
2. ***Sauce:
3. 1/2 cup apple jelly
4. 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
5. 1/4 cup whiskey
6. 1 tsp each- Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce
7. Combine sauce ingredients in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Cook for one minute, then add meatballs and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring to make sure they all get coated.
8. I find the best way to store these is in a disposable foil casserole dish (about $1-2 dollars at the grocery store).
9. You can put them in the fridge overnight, then just toss the foil dish right on the grill on Sunday. They reheat in about 5 or 10 minutes.
10. Serve with pretzel sticks (tastier than toothpicks, and no splinters!).*wink*
