Bourbon Whiskey Meatballs

I feel like any good party requires meatballs in some way, shape, or form. Am I right? This recipe is SO fast and super simple. Even better - odds are you already have the ingredients required for this sauce in your kitchen.

This sauce is delicious. If you're planning on having a lot of people over, I suggest doubling the recipe - you want plenty of sauce to cover all your meatballs!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of your favorite meatballs (I used frozen)
• 1/2 cup ketchup (heaping)
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

How to:

• Combine all ingredients except the meatballs in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly.
• *Place meatballs into a crockpot.
• Pour sauce over meatballs and mix so the meatballs are coated.
• Cover, turn crockpot to high, and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Turn to low once meatballs have thawed a little and cook for another hour or so.
• Turn down to warm, taking care not to burn your sauce.

*You can also do this on the stovetop - you don't really need a crockpot!

These are SO good! If you don't like frozen meatballs, try your own recipe with this sauce. Or you could try my recipe for Turkey Meatballs with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
