Recipe: Barbecued Swedish Meatballs
Next time you are going to a cookout, or any other kind of event where you will be bringing a dish pass, give these a try! I love meatballs and am always looking for new ways to jazz up the normal ones. I have tasted several different kinds of ”Swedish meatballs” and honestly, they never taste the same. This one met my standards! It is an easy to make appetizer is always a party pleaser! Please let me know what you think!
INGREDIENTS
Meatballs
- 1-1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
- 1 cup finely chopped onions
- 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup Holland House White Cooking Wine ($.50 off printable coupon)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 tsp. allspice
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Sauce
- 1 jar (10 oz.) currant jelly
- 1/2 cup chili sauce
- 1/4 cup HOLLAND HOUSE White Cooking Wine
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
DIRECTIONS
In medium bowl, combine all meatball ingredients; mix well. Shape into 1 inch balls. Place meatballs in 15x10x1 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until brown.
In medium saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients; mix well. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens. Add meatballs.
To serve, place meatballs and sauce in fondue pot or chafing dish. Serve with cocktail picks.
Do you love cooking with wine?
If you love cooking with wine, Holland House is a great place to venture. I have been cooking with them for about two years. The selection of these products is just fantastic. If you can’t come up with something to make, just add one of these to any basic meat or pasta sauce and you are good to go! Holland House Cooking Wine and Premium Vinegars are a welcome addition to any kitchen. Whether you want to make sauces, marinades, glazes or sautés, these cooking wines are the key. They have robust aromas that enhance even the simplest of dishes. For something incredible, open a bottle of Holland House Premium Vinegar- the flavors come alive, marinades sing and salads dazzle. If you are cooking with kids in the house, the alcohol cooks out of the dishes. Just make sure you cook all of your sauces well and to a boil when possible. If you are not a wine drinker, which I am not, you might want to choose recipes that call for the smaller amounts. I made Pasta Amatriciana last year, which called for a cup of the wine, and it was to much wine flavor for me. I am not a drinker by any means. I tried the recipe at a later date with just 1/2 cup of the wine and it was much better 
Recipe: Mixed Vegetable Nut Loaf (Meatless)
I am a lover of meatloaf but for some reason, I will only eat my own! The other night I was just feelingin the mood for meatloaf and madhed potatoes. I didn’t feel like running to the store to get ground beef so I tried this recipe from Nakano. Meat loaf without meat! Just the tasty flavors of vegetables, mushrooms and crunchy nuts laced with herbs. A food processor makes fast work for all the chopped ingredients – nuts and bread crumbs too! Please let me know what you think if you try this!
NOTE: Vegetables, nuts and bread crumbs should be finely chopped, but not minced.
