The Country/Victorian wedding Jim and I planned included a ceremony in front of a hitching post Jim made and two special hula dances (I belong to a Hawaiian dance troupe). A good friend, Linda Allen, prepared this meaty snack, with was a hit. Ingredients:
2 eggs |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1 cup dry bread crumbs |
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
2 pounds ground turkey or beef |
2 packages (1 pound each) miniature smoked sausages |
2 cans (20 ounces each) pineapple chunks, drained |
1 jar (10 ounces) pimiento-stuffed olives, drained |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
2 bottles (20 ounces each) barbecue sauce |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls. Place meatballs on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan.
2. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15 minutes or until no longer pink; drain. With a slotted spoon, transfer meatballs to two shallow 3-qt. baking dishes. Add sausages, pineapple and olives to each; toss gently to mix.
3. Combine brown sugar and barbecue sauce; pour half over each casserole. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 minutes or until heated through. Yield: about 40 servings.
