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. |
