We are meatball fanatics. This is a good one that I usually make for the Super Bowl Party. Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) cans water chestnuts, drained |
1 lb bulk pork sausage |
1 lb bulk hot pork sausage |
1/4 cup cornstarch |
1 cup maple syrup |
2/3 cup cider or 2/3 cup red wine vinegar |
1/4 cup soy sauce |
Directions:
1. Add water chestnuts to the container of a food processor. 2. Process until finely minced; may have to do this in two batches. 3. Pour water chestnuts into a large bowl. 4. Add sausages and using hands, combine until well mixed. 5. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls. 6. Place balls in an ungreased 15x10 baking pan. 7. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until sausage is not pink. 8. In a saucepan, mix together cornstarch, maple syrup, vinegar, and soy sauce; mix until smooth. 9. Bring mixture to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. 10. Drain meatballs on papertowel line plates. 11. Add meatballs to sauce and heat through. |
