Cocktail Meatballs
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix 1 pound ground beef, 2 1/2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs, 1 well-beaten egg, and 1 teaspoon salt. Shape into approximately 48 small meatballs.
2. Place on a broiler pan (or a shallow baking pan), and broil at 400 degrees until well-browned, turning once.
3. Remove from the oven, and drain off any excess fat.
4. In a medium skillet, cook 1 cup chopped green onion and 1 cup chopped green pepper in 2 tablespoons melted butter, until tender.
5. Stir in a 10 3/4 oz. can of tomato soup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon prepared mustard, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
6. Place cooked meatballs in a slow cooker and pour sauce over them.
7. Stir to coat the meatballs with the sauce mixture.
8. Cook on High for about 2 hours, in order to blend the flavors. (If you prefer, you may bake the meatballs in sauce in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, or cook them in a saucepan on the stove over low heat for 20 minutes.)
9. These can be easily kept warm in a slow cooker, and can be served directly from a slow cooker with party picks, or you may dip a serving onto a serving plate (with a generous amount of sauce) and provide a fork or toothpicks. 10. This is a perfect dish that you can keep hot during a sports party.
