love these little meatballs yummy

Provided by Judy Brannock

Categories     Meat Appetizers

Time 6h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c ketchup
1 c maple syrup or maple flavored syrup
1/2 c reduced sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp quick cooking tapioca
1 1/2 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp dry mustard
2 pkg (160z ea.)fully cooked meatballs partiallly thawed and separated
1 can(s) (20 oz) pineapple chunks in juice, drained

Steps:

  • 1. Combine ketchup maple syrup soy sauce tapioca allspice and mustard in 4 1/2 quart crockpot, slow cooker.
  • 2. Carefully stir meatballs and pineapple chunks into ketchup mixture
  • 3. Cover, cook on LOW 5 to 6 hours. Stir before serving. Serve warm, insert cocktail picks if desired

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground meats. This will give your meatballs a more complex flavor and texture. You can use a mixture of ground beef, pork, lamb, or veal.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs are lighter and airier than regular breadcrumbs, and they will help to keep your meatballs moist.
  • Season the meatball mixture generously. Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to flavor the meatballs throughout.
  • Brown the meatballs before cooking them in the glaze. This will help to develop their flavor and give them a nice crust.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup. The quality of the maple syrup will make a big difference in the flavor of the glaze. Use a pure maple syrup that is dark and robust.
  • Don't overcook the meatballs. Overcooked meatballs will be dry and tough. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.

Conclusion:

These maple glazed meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
