INGREDIENTS

3/4 lb ground beef
3/4 lb ground pork
1/2 cup Ritz Cracker crumbs ; 1 sleeve, finely crushed or you can use plain bread crumbs
1/2 cup onion ; finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
lots of fresh cracked pepper
1 egg
2 Tbsp olive oil ; for browning the meatballs
Bourbon Sauce
1 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 Tbsp hot chili sauce ; use mild chili sauce if you can’t take the heat
1/2 cup bourbon
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup water

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350.

Put the above ingredients, except the olive oil, in a large mixing bowl, breaking up the meat as you put it in. Mix together, using the tips of your fingers to gently combine everything without compacting the meat. Form into small 1? balls, I use a small scoop to make them nice and uniform. Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a skillet and brown the meatballs, working in batches. Transfer the meatballs to a baking sheet, and bake for about 10 minutes, until cooked through. (Check with a thermometer, they should read 160 degrees) Place cooked meatballs into the sauce, and let heat through until ready to serve. Serve on a plate with toothpicks, a drizzle of sauce, and lots of napkins. Serve a bowl of sauce on the side for extra

dipping.

Bourbon Sauce: Combine all the above ingredients in a skillet and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes until thick.
