Sweet and Spicy Cocktail Meatballs

I love easy make ahead appetizers and this is a favorite with my family. If there are any leftovers (and a big IF) we make meatball subs! Easy to double or triple.

Meatball Ingredients (makes 40 meatballs)

• ½ pound ground pork
• ½ pound ground chuck
• 1 1/2 TBLS vomFASS Sweet and Spicy Mix
• ½ cup minced onion
• ½ cup bread crumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vomFASS Smoked Sea Salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground Pepper

Meatball Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine all meatball ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well combined.
3. Form 1 inch meatballs and place on cookie sheet
4. Place pan in oven and cook meatballs 8 – 10 minutes until desired doneness, turning once.

Sauce Ingredients

• ¼ cup vomFASS Red Pepper Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• ¼ cup vomFASS Apple Balsam Vinegar
• ¼ cup Chili Sauce
• ¼ cup cranberry Sauce

Sauce Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a pan large enough to fit the meatballs and heat. I use a crockpot.
2. Add the meatballs and warm through

Recipe notes:   Easy to scale up by doubling or tripling the ingredients. You can make the meatballs up 1-2 days ahead of time and then make sauce in crockpot and add meatballs and warm through.
