Bourbon Meatballs

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F

2. In a large mixing bowl, add all meatball ingredients. Next, add in meat and gently separate/break up as you add it. Gently combine ingredients and incorporate with meat. Similar to making meatloaf, do not apply a great deal of pressure or the meat will be tough.

3. Form meat mixture into balls, about 1” in diameter.

4. Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in an iron skillet and brown the meatballs on multiple sides (aim for about 8-10 per batch). Transfer the browned meatballs to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for about 10-12 minutes.

Bourbon sauce

1. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a skillet and bring to a simmer for about 10 minutes or until thick.

Bring it all together

1. Place meatballs into the pan with the sauce. May also move sauce and meatballs to crockpot on “low” or “warm” setting. Drizzle extra sauce over meatballs. Enjoy!
