Time 1h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon loosely packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
One 25-count bag All-Purpose Meatballs (still frozen is fine), recipe follows
Mashed potatoes, for serving
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving
Green salad, for serving
5 pounds ground beef
1 1/2 cups plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the barbecue sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, hot sauce and Worcestershire and bring to a boil. Add the All-Purpose Meatballs and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the meatballs are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Spoon over mashed potatoes and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with a green salad.
  • To make the meatballs, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, cream, parsley, mustard, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Mix together well with your hands. Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions and roll them into balls with your hands. Place the meatballs onto parchment-lined baking sheets and put the baking sheets in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes for the meatballs to firm up.
  • To brown the meatballs, heat the olive oil in a heavy pot or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook, turning the meatballs to make sure they brown all over, 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
  • Freezer instructions: Put the cooked meatballs in a single layer on baking sheets and put into the freezer. When frozen, divide them into freezer bags, 25 per bag, and return them to the freezer. Yield: 125 meatballs.

I make these for our annual Super Bowl party and they're the first thing people go for and the first thing to run out. Now I make a super big batch because if there were to ever be leftovers, they'd still be tasty.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 3h20m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (6 lb) bag frozen meatballs (Kirkland brand from Costco)
2 (12 ounce) cans beer (of your choice)
2 (12 ounce) cans spicy hot V8
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons hot sauce (or to taste)
1 (28 ounce) bottle ketchup
1 tablespoon horseradish
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 (12 ounce) jars chili sauce

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients except meatballs. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Put sauce into a large crockpot and dump in meatballs - just enough so that the sauce is still barely covering them - you may not need the whole bag.
  • Allow to simmer in crockpot for at least 3 hours - the longer you let them simmer, the better they are! Six to ten hours on low temperature is best. Stir them occasionally.
  • To serve them, leave them in the crockpot so they're hot and provide a slotted spoon and bowls for dishing them out.
  • You may wish to add more ketchup, chili sauce, or V-8 juice - spice them up more if you like them hot!
