Beer Meatballs
02.9.2011 For the glorious snackfest that is Super Bowl Sunday, I made White Grandma's delicious beer meatball sauce with turkey meatballs.
This is the tangiest, yummiest, simplest sauce for meatballs and makes a perfect warm appetizer.
Meatballs: Meat of your choice, grated onion, salt and pepper. Roll into balls. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Don't overcook like I did because the meatballs get dry and even this sauce can't save a chalky ball.
Sauce: 1/2 C beer (not half a bottle as The Good Doctor insisted he thought he remembered and was pretty sure he was right about)
1/2 C ketchup
2 tbs each of white vinegar, sugar, worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Mix and simmer until the sauce thickens.
White Grandma usually triples this recipe. I doubled it and made plenty of sauce for 24 meatballs.
Pour over meatballs. Let them simmer in sauce to soak up the tangy goodness. Serve warm.
Only 5 were left by the time I remembered to take this picture.

Vicky- thank you for the recipe! I have this weird hobby of collecting a lot of recipes and i probably cook 2-3 x a year.
