Ohiobucks Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Gave this meatball recipe a try last weekend, not bad at all. Used all venison, should have probably mix in some beef or pork to add some fat though… Barbecued Meatballs Meatballs: 1 lb lean ground venison, crumbled 1/2 cup instant white rice 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1/8 tsp cayenne Sauce: 1 bottle (12 oz) chili sauce 2/3 cup grape jelly 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp cayenne Heat oven to 400 In a large mixing bowl, combine all meatball ingredients. Shape mixture into 16 meatballs, about 1-1/2” in diameter. Arrange meatballs in an 8” square baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. Drain. Combine all sauce ingredients in a 1 quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until jelly is melted, stirring constantly. Pour heated sauce over drained meatballs. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until sauce is hot and bubbly. Serve over mashed potatoes, or hot cooked noodles, if desired.

gzilla45 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 The grape jelly/chili sauce combo has been a staple on meatballs in my finally for many years. My mom makes a crock pot of them every Christmas Eve and we all usually fight over them. I do like the idea of adding some cayenne pepper to it to spice them up a bit though.

archerjg Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Here's a zesty meatball recipe that we make a lot. Works awesome with venison. Meatballs: 1 1/2 to 2 lbs Ground Beef or Venison 1/4 to 1/2 Cup Finely Chopped Onion 1-2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce Salt to taste Pepper to taste 1 Egg About 1/2 Cup Dry Bread Crumbs 1/4 Cup Water 2 Tablespoons Parsley Flakes 2-3 Garlic Cloves or Garlic Powder to taste Mix well shape into 1”-2” balls, bake at 350 until done about 15-20 minutes. Zesty Meatball Sauce: 3/4 Cup Worcestershire Sauce 3/4 Cup Sugar 1/4 Cup plus 2 Tablespoons Vinegar 3- 8oz. Cans to Tomato Sauce Parsley (optional) Combine the ingredients, except for the parsley in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil. Cook over low heat for one minute, stirring constantly. Pour sauce over the cooked meatballs. Garnish with the parsley is desired. May need to double the sauce depending on the amount of meatballs This works well is a crock pot. Place the cooked meatballs in a crockpot and pour the sauce over the top. Turn the crockpot on low to keep the meatballs hot.
