BBQ Meatballs
I have been making these meatballs for years (can't remember where I found the recipe) and my family loves them! They're easy to make and nice to have on hand for appetizers or after school snacks.
Ingredients
1 lb of lean ground beef
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 cup breadcrumbs
half a small onion, finely diced
dash of salt & pepper to taste
1 cup of grape jelly
1 cup of Ketchup
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Mix beef, egg, milk, onion, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper together in a bowl. Form into meatballs. Place on an ungreased baking pan. Bake until brown. Cooking time will vary on size of meatballs. How many meatballs this makes will again vary depending on size. Average is 24 meatballs with a cook time of 30-40 mins.
Meanwhile, in a pan mix together ketchup, jelly and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat until boiling. Reduce heat and simmer until bbq sauce blends together. Stir frequently. Once meatballs are brown, drain any grease and then place in pot of bbq sauce on top of oven. Stir and simmer for about ten minutes to blend flavors. Enjoy!
A personal note: I use Stove Top Savory Herb Stuffing instead of bread crumbs to give it a little bit more flavor. Either way is good.
Ice Cream Cake Recipe!
My sister always makes this ice cream cake and she told me how. I have made it often for different events and everyone loves it! Plus, it's much less expensive than the kind you buy in the store and very easy to make.
You will need:
two boxes of ice cream sandwiches
one tub of Cool Whip
one bottle of Hershey Chocolate Syrup
one cake pan 9x12
1. Place one layer of ice cream sandwiches, laid out side by side, covering the whole bottom of pan
2. Spread a layer of Cool Whip over the sandwiches
3. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the Cool Whip, as much or as little as you like
4. Repeat steps one through three
5. Cover cake pan with lid and place in freezer overnight.
6. Serve frozen. If you want, set it out on counter for a few minutes until time to serve.
Trust me, there won't be any left!
