Spicy Cocktail Meatballs
Serves 8
Ingredients:
For the meatballs:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 eggs
- 1- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons CHILE CRUNCH
- 2 cups ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Directions:
To make the meatballs:
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients, except the canola oil. Shape heaping teaspoons of the mixture into 1-inch balls. In a Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
Working in batches, wiping pan in between, sauté the meatballs, turning frequently for even browning, until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Place on a paper towel-lined plate.
To make the sauce:
Heat oil in the same Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
