When I serve these saucy meatballs at our Christmas Eve celebration, I have to make four batches...and they always disappear! Ingredients:
1 bottle (12 ounces) chili sauce |
1 jar (10 ounces) sweet-and-sour sauce |
1 cup pineapple chunks |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons crushed saltines |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 pound bulk pork sausage |
1 large green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the chili sauce, sweet-and-sour sauce, pineapple and brown sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the egg, cracker crumbs, allspice and nutmeg. Crumble sausage over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls.
3. Broil meatballs 4-5 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°, drain. Add green pepper and meatballs to sauce. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until heated through. Yield: About 3 dozen.
