"RECREATED" BURGUNDY MEATBALLS

Number Of Ingredients 33

Meatballs:
For meat balls: (from Heinz): (I had two pounds of meat, did a straight doubling of ingredients. Used panko bread crumbs (1 cup dried) soaked with 2 beaten eggs and ½ cup milk). Then mixed in the ground beef and seasonings. Used a whole small onion, minced)
1 pound gr beef
1 cup soft fresh breadcrumbs (or 1/2 cup dried)
1 egg beaten
2 TBSP milk (use 1/4 cup milk for dried)
2 TBSP onion, chopped
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
S&P
A few shakes of Costco 23-spice no salt blend
350 for 20 to 25 minutes
Sauce: (for 1 pound of meatballs - I made 2 pounds, see adjustments below):
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
TBSP Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup red wine
½ cup water
dry mustard - about tsp or so
Celery salt (or celery seeds)
Ground pepper
Note: add more vinegar, wine and mustard if necessary so sauce is not too sweet
I doubled the recipe since I had two pounds:
2 cups ketchup
¾ cup red wine vinegar
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup red wine (or more, to taste)
½ cup water
about 2 tsp dry mustard
celery salt
a couple TBSP of Worcestershire sauce
some ground pepper
Mainly - taste, to make sure not too sweet
