Saucy Meatballs


I made these to snack on from the crock-pot on Christmas day. These would be a great appetizer for a party. I adapted these recipes a little, using 3 pounds of ground meat for lots of meatballs, and kept them warm in the crock-pot. We loved them!

2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 dash garlic powder
dash cayenne pepper
3 pounds fully cooked meatballs (recipe below)

In a deep sauce pan, combine the first nine ingredients, Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 15 minutes. Add meatballs and sauce to a crock-pot and keep warm on a low/warm setting to serve.

Combine the ground beef and turkey with the crackers, mustard, oregano, eggs and season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently toss and mix until well combined. Using a small scoop (mine is a 1 TBL size) form meatballs. Place on a large baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Use in recipe above.
