Fabulous Buffet Beef Balls

Wow! I love getting prepared for Buffet Brunches and this one is a ‘lick-the-bowl’ – ‘lick-your-fingers’ addition.

It is super easy and cooked on the stove…what more could you want?

 

  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1/2 cup regular bread crumbs
  • 3 tbsp. chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tsp. worchestershire sauce
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1 scant tbsp. garlic salt

Secret Sauce

  • 12 oz. bottle chili sauce
  • 6 oz. hot ketchup
  • 1 10 oz. jar grape jelly
  • 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. soy sauce

Mix the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, parsley, onion, worchestershire sauce, garlic salt and pepper. Roll into 1 inch balls. Set aside.

Heat the chili sauce, ketchup, jelly, lemon juice, sugar and soy sauce in a large pot. Bring to a boil; and add the uncooked meatballs. Simmer in the sauce for 30 minutes. Serve in a chafing dish with toothpicks.

Each recipe makes about 50 balls and believe it or not….you will be licking the plate and fingers. Awesome flavours.

Grape Meatballs

 

 

This is a wonderful dish to make, especially if serving Buffet style.

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup panko crumbs
  • 2 tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
  • 1/2 minced onion
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste.

Mix together the above ingredients and form into two inch balls. Set aside

Sauce

  •  12 oz. bottle of chili sauce
  • 6 oz. bottle hot ketchup
  •  10 oz. bottle of grape jelly (no kidding)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. soy sauce

Mix these all together in a large pot. Bring to a boil and add the uncooked meatballs. Simmer this for thirty-forty minutes.

These can be served with rice or noodles.  ENJOY! This truly is an addictive sauce and you will all be wanting more.
