Bourbon Glazed Meatball Appetizer

The meatballs in bourbon sauce is my favorite appetizer for parties. It has a scrumptious sweet glaze made with bourbon and brown sugar. They are especially great to serve during the Fall and Winter holidays and of course for Super Bowl or other sports parties. I never have leftovers and in fact, no matter how many I make there doesn't seem to be enough.

Ingredients

Meatballs

1 1/2 lbs. hamburger

1/2 c. milk

1/2 c. oatmeal

3 tsp. onion, chopped

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

Flour

1 tablespoon oil

Sauce

2/3 heaping cup Ketchup

2/3 c. Packed Brown Sugar

1/3 c. Bourbon

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

Directions

Meatball 

Mix all ingredients, except flour and oil, until thoroughly incorporated

Form mixture into balls 1 1/2 to 2 inches

Roll in flour 

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat

Add meatballs to hot oil in a single layer - do not crowd

Cook for a few minutes on each side until browned 

Place meatballs in a slow cooker with sauce

Cook in slow cooker on high for 1 hour and then reduce to low

Serve at anytime after the 1 hour 

Sauce

Add all ingredients in a pan and mix until thoroughly incorporated 

Bring to a boil and boil for several minutes

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes

Add sauce to meatballs in slow cooker

Stir gently covering meatballs with sauce

Note: In the slow cooker the sauce will cook down to a nice sticky glaze. Make sure you check the meatballs periodically so the glaze burn in the slow cooker (this only happens after they are in the cooker on low for many hours). At some point you may want to turn the cooker to warm.
