VENISON MEATBALLS WITH A CREAMY BOURBON REDUCTION



Venison Meatballs With a Creamy Bourbon Reduction image

Ed created these delicious meatballs with a creamy bourbon reduction for the Superbowl gathering at Marc and Lori's house after Marc supplied us with this huge deer. Ed says while shaping, do not squeeze the balls. The jalapeno sausage could be substituted with a mild Italian. We served this with toothpicks as hors d'oeurves but these meatballs would also be really good with a tomato sauce and served over pasta. Personally, I love the bourbon sauce. The Bourbon gets a mellow, beefy aromatic taste which compliments the hearty meat. These meatballs are great the next day served over mashed potatoes. And, make a really great sandwich with melted provolone. Rapture!

BOURBON WHISKEY MEATBALLS



BOURBON WHISKEY MEATBALLS image

Categories     Beef     Bake     Cocktail Party

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound Bag Frozen Meatballs
½ cups Ketchup (Heaping)
½ cups Brown Sugar, Packed
¼ cups Bourbon Whiskey
1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

Steps:

  • NOTE: 1 bag of (1 pound) frozen meatballs is only about 18 to 20 larger size meatballs. That is perfect for a small get-together. But if you're going to a larger party, you might want to get TWO bags of meatballs, and in that case you would then DOUBLE the above recipe. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except your meatballs. Mix up really well. Place your frozen meatballs into your crock pot, and pour the whiskey sauce in on top. Mix it up all around so each meatball is coated with the whiskey sauce. Now turn up the heat to high. Leave it on high for about an hour, stirring a couple times. Once it appears that the meatballs have somewhat thawed, go ahead and turn your crockpot down to low. You don't want to burn all that wonderful whiskey sauce! That's the best part!
