Cajun Meatballs!
That's right, this year's challenge is...
Meatballs!
Meatballs!
I'm thinking appetizers, munchies and fun toothpicks! Although sandwiches and soups are good too:@)
Wouldn't a meatball tasting party be fun, all different meats and flavors lined up!

Cajun Appetizer Meatballs found on Allrecipes.com
1 lb lean ground beef
1 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce
2 Tblsp Cajun seasoning
1 Tblsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tblsp dried parsley
1/4 C finely chopped onion
1/4 C fresh bread crumbs
1/4 C milk
1 egg
1/2 C B-B-Q sauce
1/2 C peach preserves
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a medium sized baking sheet.
- Mix everything except the B-B-Q sauce and preserves.
- Form into golf ball size meatballs and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake 30-40 minutes, or until no longer pink in the middle.
- Mix B-B-Q sauce and preserves in small bowl. Place meatballs in serving dish, cover with sauce. Toss to combine.
Notes:
- I used homemade nectarine jam, any stone fruit will do. If I was making these for a party I might send the jam through the food chopper to thin the fruit a little.
- I ended up with 18 meatballs and would make them more "bite size" next time. 24 is probably perfect.
- These meatballs are very flavorful, you can really taste the herbs! I used Emeril's Essence for my Cajun Seasoning.
- What I love about these: No one will be looking around for the spaghetti, there's no doubt these ain't yo Momma's meatballs! There's a little heat and you can taste the thyme. If your crowd is into hot I could see adding some cayenne powder or hot sauce to the glaze.
Earl's so excited, he loves football almost as much as he loves to eat!
Have a happy day:@)
