Super Bowl Menu


This morning, I worked on my Super Bowl menu.  Football is important, but not nearly as important as what you will be eating while you watch football.  I found this cat picture yesterday.  It sums up my feelings nicely.  This is what we’ll be eating tomorrow.  Once I cook, I will take pictures to post tomorrow.

Spicy Cocktail Meatballs

Ingredients
Sauce
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
¼ cup ketchup
3 tablespoons beef broth
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon minced yellow onion
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 to 2 drops of Tabasco sauce

Ingredients
Meatballs
1 pound lean ground beef
½ cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon flour
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons minced yellow onion
2 teaspoons horseradish
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Preparation
To make the sauce:  In a large saucepan over medium high heat combine all ingredients.  Bring to a simmer and continue simmering, uncovered, until flavors are blended, about 10 minutes.

To make meatballs:  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well, using your hands (I always keep latex gloves in the kitchen).  Form into ½ inch balls and place on baking sheet.  Bake until browned, about 10 to 12 minutes.  Add meatballs to sauce and simmer 10 minutes.  Transfer to pretty Super Bowl themed plate, sit out toothpicks and serve.
