MEATBALLS IN A JELLY-KETCHUP SAUCE



MEATBALLS IN A JELLY-KETCHUP SAUCE image

Categories     Beef     Kid-Friendly

Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup of red currant jelly
3/4 cup ketchup
1 small onion, chopped
2.5 pounds ground beef
One 12 ounce can of bread crumbs
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Mix the onion, ground beef, eggs and bread crumbs together in a large bowl with your hands. That's right, with your hands. It's going to be cold and gooey, but fun! Make balls with the dough - size them a little bit larger than golf balls. Plop the ketchup and jelly into a large pan (big enough to fit all of the meatballs*) and heat on the stove on medium-high. Stir until the jelly melts and mixes with the ketchup. Add the meatballs to the pan in one layer. Allow the sauce to boil and the bottom of the meatballs to brown. Rotate the meatballs with tongs every minute or two until all sides are browned and the meat is cooked thoroughly. Remove from pan and serve! ** If you don't have a gigantic pan, just divide the dough and the ketchup/jelly ingredients to fit your size of pan. Doing this in three batches works well as you can do 1/4 cup ketchup, 1/3 cup jelly for each batch.

Time 1h

Yield 8 entree servings or 16 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 medium onion
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
8 ounces ground pork
One 10.75-ounce can condensed cream of tomato soup
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped finely
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups beef stock
1/2 cup grape jelly
1/4 cup finely ground graham crackers
1 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh curly parsley

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil, then place a wire rack over it.
  • Grate the onion into a large bowl using a box grater. Add the ground beef and pork, tomato soup, panko, mustard powder, pepper, salt and minced garlic and knead together with your hands until thoroughly mixed. Use a tablespoon to help you make small meatballs, placing them close together but not touching on the prepared sheet pan. Bake until well browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • For the sauce: Melt the butter a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the flour until no raw bits are visible, then continue cooking for another minute. Whisk in the beef stock 1/2 cup at a time, allowing it to thicken between each addition, then whisk in the grape jelly until smooth. Cook until the sauce begins to bubble, then add the graham cracker crumbs, ketchup and vinegar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the meatballs to the saute pan and gently toss to coat. Cook for another 3 minutes, then transfer to a chafing dish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Meatball Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds ground beef
¾ cup rolled oats
6 tablespoons chopped sweet onion (such as a Walla Walla)
1 cup milk
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ cups ketchup
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons white sugar
4 ½ tablespoons chopped sweet onion (such as a Walla Walla)
4 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
¾ cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Mix together the ground beef, rolled oats, 6 tablespoons of sweet onion, milk, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined. Roll the mixture into 2-inch meatballs, and place meatballs into the prepared baking dish.
  • In a bowl, mix the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, 4 1/2 tablespoons of sweet onion, apple cider vinegar, and water until the sugar has dissolved, and pour the sauce evenly over the meatballs.

MEATBALLS W/ STRAWBERRY JELLY SAUCE



Meatballs w/ Strawberry Jelly Sauce image

I actually made meatballs for the first time once, then found I had no prego! SO I used strawberry jelly instead. What I was thinking, I have no idea, but I'm glad I was THAT hungry or I would never have known how good it is!

Provided by Vallie

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup Italian style breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon garlic salt or 2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 egg white (you can use the yolk too if you're lazy)
2 cups strawberry jelly

Steps:

  • To make the meatballs------------.
  • First,'knead' the ground beef with your fist (this makes it more likely to form a ball, and less likely to come undone once it is so).
  • Next, in a large bowl or on a cutting board, mix together, ground beef, bread crumbs, egg white (or whole egg, whatever!), and garlic flavor of your choice.
  • Again, knead this and mix around to distribute ingredients as evenly as possible.
  • (This will be messy, trust me! But it's gonna be good) Ok, now, get out your favorite lil (or big) skillet, put those meatballs on there and cook those babys til they're a nice dark brown color (or they'll be red on the inside) Once you're done, take'em out, place them on a paper towel or two, cuz they'll be greasy!
  • Lastly, put that jelly in a nice lil microwaveable dishy thingy, and heat it up just enough so it's not jelly anymore, and warm, but not too hot.
  • Then dip those suckers til they're darn near covered and eat em up good!
  • Hope you like.
