Throw away that recipe that calls for frozen meatballs and grape jelly - these homemade cocktail meatballs are so much better.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Appetizers

Time 40m

Yield About 25 mini meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 large egg
¼ cup heavy cream or milk
¾ cup cubed white sandwich bread, crusts removed
½ pound ground pork
1 garlic clove, minced
⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ pound ground beef (85% lean)
½ cup ketchup
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
1½ tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon finely grated shallot, from one shallot
1 small clove garlic, minced
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
Finely chopped parsley, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up and place an ovenproof baking/cooling rack over top; spray rack generously with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk the egg and cream together in a medium bowl. Stir in the bread and mash until no large bread chunks remain. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the pork, garlic, allspice, pepper, salt, and baking powder on high speed until smooth and pale, about 2 minutes, scraping bowl as necessary. Add the bread mixture to the mixing bowl and beat on high speed until smooth and homogeneous, about 1 minute, scraping the bowl as necessary. Add the beef and mix on medium-low speed until just incorporated, about 20 seconds, scraping the bowl as necessary.
  • Using moistened hands (it's sticky and wet hands help; keep wetting them as you go), form the meat mixture into tablespoon-size round meatballs and place on the prepared rack. Bake for about 20 minutes, until just done.
  • Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan, mix together all of the ingredients for the sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook gently until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the baked meatballs to the sauce and stir to coat evenly. Transfer them to a serving platter, spear with toothpicks and spoon the sauce over top. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The meatballs and sauce can be frozen in separate containers for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, reheat the meatballs in their sauce on the stovetop over medium heat until hot in the center.

EASY COCKTAIL MEATBALLS



Easy Cocktail Meatballs image

I came up with this after trying several different meatball recipes. It's versatile and doesn't use chili sauce, which I never seem to have on hand. I like it best made with half jelly and half cranberry sauce. You can make these on the stove, in a crock-pot or in an electric skillet.

Simple meatballs with an unusual chili sauce/grape jelly coating. Quite a combination of tastes and textures. Note: After cooking, I like to keep the meatballs warm in a slow cooker until ready to serve.

COCKTAIL MEATBALLS

This is the best cocktail meatball I've ever had. We didn't have chili sauce, but I found Recipe #363254 and made it homemade. Really a surprising but wonderful concoction of ingredients--sweet and spicy. We used blackberry jelly instead of grape and baked the meatballs in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes or so instead of cooking in shortening. We also put it all in the crockpot and watched them disappear. Recipe courtesy of Golden Heritage Cookbook fiftieth Anniversary/The Officers' Wives' Club of Fort Benning, Georgia (Mrs. Edward G. Bradshaw (Mackie).

These tasty meatballs will disappear quickly from anyone's holiday party. My mom makes them every year for New Years Eve, and now so do I. These do very well in a slow cooker, as you can simmer them before serving, as well as keep them hot for the duration of your party.
