Ingredients
  • 1 lb. Mild pork sausage
  • 1 lb. Lean ground beef
  • ½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ cup finely diced Vidalia onion
  • ½ teaspoon each - salt and pepper
  • Optional: Pretzel Sticks
  • Foil Casserole Dish

Directions
  1. Combine all ingredients and shape into 1 ½ inch balls. Place on a lightly greased jelly roll pan or cookie sheet. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes, turning after 15 minutes.
  2. ***Sauce:
  3. ½ cup apple jelly
  4. ¼ cup spicy brown mustard
  5. ¼ cup whiskey
  6. 1 tsp each- Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce
  7. Combine sauce ingredients in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Cook for one minute, then add meatballs and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring to make sure they all get coated.
  8. I find the best way to store these is in a disposable foil casserole dish (about $1-2 dollars at the grocery store).
  9. You can put them in the fridge overnight, then just toss the foil dish right on the grill on Sunday. They reheat in about 5 or 10 minutes.
  10. Serve with pretzel sticks (tastier than toothpicks, and no splinters!).*wink*

Sounds like a winner! I like to serve pretzel sticks with meatballs or sausages it is so much nicer not having to throw away the toothpicks and it helps save a tree!lol I like the use of whiskey in the sauce with the apple jelly! High 5!
