Jjs Beer Cocktail Meatballs Recipes

JJ"S BEER COCKTAIL MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Make your meatballs about quarter sized, and either fry or bake them draining grease well.
• In a deep saucepan or crock pot put in the sugar, ketchup, and add beer. Mix well until sugar is pretty well dissolved.
• Add in the cooked meatballs, and simmer with lid ajar on stovetop for 30-45 minute Or simmer in crockpot on low for 1-1 1/2 hours.
• Be sure to stir a couple of times.
• Sauce will thicken, and smells almost like sweet and sour sauce.
• My friends like them over spaghetti noodles, and mashed potatoes.
• These freeze well for future use.

PARTYTIME BEER MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients except meatballs. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes.
• Put sauce into a large crockpot and dump in meatballs - just enough so that the sauce is still barely covering them - you may not need the whole bag.
• Allow to simmer in crockpot for at least 3 hours - the longer you let them simmer, the better they are! Six to ten hours on low temperature is best. Stir them occasionally.
• To serve them, leave them in the crockpot so they're hot and provide a slotted spoon and bowls for dishing them out.
• You may wish to add more ketchup, chili sauce, or V-8 juice - spice them up more if you like them hot!

MEATBALLS IN BEER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Soak bread cubes in 1/2 cup beer.
• Combine ground beef, cheese, salt, pepper and beer soaked bread. Mix well and form cocktail size meatballs (about 32, 1" balls).
• Arrange in a single layer in a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, saute onions in margarine until tender. Stir in sugar, vinegar, beef stock, and remaining beer. Thicken with flour if so desired.
• Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
• When meatballs are done, drain on paper towels and then add to the sauce and simmer for 20 minutes longer.
• Serve with toothpicks.
