BarBQBoozers

 
Owww…..in all the hectic of this week I almost forgot that Saturday is International Bacon Day! How could I forget…even though I think it should be Bacon Day every day!

And I know you’re all waiting for a juicy story about balls and sauce but that’s not going to happen today! Sometimes even the Dutchess has to settle for a quick one, but that’s better than nothing!! Now let’s get those balls rolling!
Picture
1 lbs. ground meat (not too lean)
1 egg
2 tablespoons of your favorite bbq sauce
1 tablespoon parsley, dried
A few drops of hot sauce
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chipotle chile seasoning
1 spring onion, only the green part, thinly sliced
Pepper/salt
Panko (I used about 1 cup)
Picture
Mix all these ingredients and make meatballs.
Picture
Then it’s time to get saucy!

1 thick slice of bacon (ooow homemade by The Dutchess herself!), cut into cubes
½ cup bourbon
¼  cup heavy cream
½ cup beef broth
Pepper
2 tablespoons of your favorite bbq sauce
Pepper/salt
Grated cheese
Butter

This time I used the Burnt Finger BBQ Private Stock Barbecue Sauce in the sauce and in the meatballs, and it tasted great, again! The smoky taste was a good choice for this meal!
Picture
Start with melting the butter in a wide pan and cook the bacon until crisp.
Picture
Set the bacon aside but leave the grease in the pan.
Picture
Add some more butter and cook the meatballs for about 10 minutes.
Picture
Place the meatballs on a platter and add the bourbon, heavy cream, beef broth, pepper and bbq sauce to the grease. Let it boil for 1 minute.
Picture
Put the meatballs back in the pan, close the lid and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
Picture
If the sauce hasn’t thickened enough now, you can add some sauce thickener. Sprinkle the cheese over the meatballs, close the lid and let it melt in about 5 minutes…
Picture
And this is the result: mouthwatering, and I tell you something, these meatballs would be great on a bun!! As all meatballs do… haha!
