Beer Meatballs
1 12 oz can favorite beer
1 6 oz can spicy V-8� vegetable juice
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 cup chopped onions
salt and pepper -- to taste
1 28 oz bottle ketchup
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 pounds lean ground beef -- (up to 3 pounds)
2 eggs -- (up to 3)
Combine ground beef, 1/2 cup onions, Italian breadcrumbs, eggs. Make the mixture
into small meatballs. Then fry or bake the meat.
In a saucepan combine the remaining ingredients. Simmer for 15 minutes. Put
meatballs and sauce into a crockpot. The sauce should cover the meat. Allow to
simmer in the crockpot for at least 3 hours (the longer you let them simmer, the
better they are! Six to ten hours on low temperature is great.) Stir them
occasionally.
Add more ketchup or V/8 juice if desired, and spice them up if you like them
hot. |
