Uncle Tom’s Appetizer Meatball Sauce
I am in yet another recipe swap so expect to see a few more zaar members recipes posted again this month. I really have a lot of fun in these and it also gives me a chance to get some of my recipes reviewed. I made this the other night and it was a great meatball sauce, you can either buy store bought meatballs, make your own recipe or I have listed a recipe below for meatballs. I you would like to read more reviews or see more photos of this recipe please click here.

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons white vinegar
1 Cup ketchup
1/2 Teaspoon onion salt
1/4 Teaspoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon white sugar

Method

1. In a medium sauce pan mix ingredients and simmer til blended, add your prepared meatballs and simmer about fifteen minutes.

Looks exceptionally appetizing served on a white platter with a tooth pick set in each meatball.

Meatball Recipe

I have many different meatball recipes but this was a suggested one to go with this sauce, it is again by a zaar member. They were really good and were even good without a sauce, I also think they would go really well with a sweet chili dipping sauce. For more reviews and Photos click here.

Ingredients

1 1/2lbs Ground veal or ground beef or ground pork (or combination)
1 Cup seasoned bread crumbs (I used panko flakes)
1/2 Cup chili sauce
1 Egg
1/4 Cup minced onion
2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
1 1/2 Teaspoons salt
1/2 Teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 Teaspoon crushed garlic
3 Tablespoons butter or margarine

Method

1. Saute onion until clear in appearance. (I didn’t bother with this step onion will cook with meatballs.)

2. In a large bowl combine ground meat, bread crumbs, chili sauce, egg, onion, parsley, salt, Tabasco and garlic.

3. Shape meat into balls one inch in diameter.

4. Pan fry a few meat balls at a time in butter. (I did this to brown and then finished the cooking off in the oven.)

Serve with food picks.
