Appetizer Meatballs
"A very old recipe from "The Art of Seasoning" an interesting little booklet outlining the origin and history of Tabasco Pepper Sauce. Tabasco Sauce was named after an Indian word meaning "land where the soil is humid." This aptly describes the small area where the peppers grow best. Since 1868, this word, TABASCO, has been used as the exclusive trademark for the pepper sauce made by the McIlhenny Company, registered in the United States patent office and in the patent offices of most foreign countries."

Opps I reviewed the sauce. Deleated and changed. Good made as is but after browning meatballs I finished cooking in oven used with recipe#186729 -
Excellent meatballs nice and tender and juicy!! I did make some changes I used panko crumbs instead of bread crumbs, rehydrated dried minced onion (2 tablespoons onions to 3 tablespoons warm water) and I baked them for 20 minutes instead of frying. SO good my new meatball recipe. Thanks so much for posting!!! -
These tasted great! I only used ground beef and browned them using Pam Butter flavor to make them a little healthier. As recommended Uncle Tom's Appetizer Meatball Sauce. There were none left at the end of the night. Thanks for a great recipe! -
Just nothing like a great tasting meatball and this is it. Have made up a # of batches,flash froze them and vacum packed ready at a moments notice. I did serve some with Gerry999 recipe#186729 which was rated tops by my guests. Great recipe. -
These were oh so yummy I made these as Gerry 999 had sugested, these go well with her sauce Recipe#186729. It was perfect and they paired well. I will say these meatballs are full of flavour by themselves and can be enjoyed with or without a dipping sauce. If going for a dipping sauce I would say they would also pair well with a sweet chili dipping sauce. I agree with Fairy Nuff they would make great burgers. Enjoyed by all, big thumbs up and will be making again and again. Delicious!!!

<p>Gone, but not Forgotten. Where is she? someone asked. Not far was the loud response. Certainly not hiding in a large roasting pan, although I do have one about the size of a hog. <br /> <br />If I don't do this now, I never will, and if I never will, who will tell me if I am any good at the literature game? I am taking some time off to concentrate on writing a book...and you people have been distracting me. Oh yeah, sez you... What kinda book? Well, one with about 200 pages, give or take a dozen or so... maybe 300 who knows? Everyone knows Toolie has a lot to say at the best of times. <br /> <br />A DIY book??? Naaahhh, I'll leave that to the real mechanics at Canadian Tire and Home Depot. <br /> <br />A Recipe Book? Yeah, Right!!!! Like I would compete with this site or any other... Not in this lifetime... I have a tough enough time competing with some of you chefs, so I just don't, and won't. <br /> <br />Oh sure, I will cook some of your recipes, for special occasions. Pictures? Who knows? but don't hold your breath. Posting in the forums? Perhaps, but not on a regular basis... Posting recipes??? from time to time.... <br /> <br />Why hang around, you say? Because I wanna keep my terrific handle. There is only one TOOLBELT DIVA folks... Dat Be Me! <br /> <br />Remember, be careful what you say, you might find yourself in the second paragraph of page 150, or thereabouts. <br /> <br />In October, 2007 my youngest sister, Marie lost her battle with ALS. In her memory, therefore, I post the following: <br /> <br />SISTERS <br /> <br />Time passes. Life happens. Distance separates. Jobs come and go. Love waxes and wanes. Hearts break. Parents die. Careers end. Life happens ... <br /> <br />BUT...... Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. <br /> <br />When you have to walk beside one dear to you in that lonesome valley, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf. <br /> <br />They will walk beside you, share your sorrow and share your tears, knowing all the while God is there with you, to give you the strength and faith you need and the everlasting blessings of healing love. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE HAPPEN IN THE WORLD (M. Gandhi) <br /> <br />IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BECOME WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE (Georges Eliot) <br /> <br />THAT WHICH WE PERSIST IN DOING BECOMES EASIER, NOT THAT THE TASK ITSELF HAS BECOME EASIER, BUT THAT OUR ABILITY TO PERFORM IT HAS IMPROVED. (Ralph Waldo Emerson) <br /> <br />Have fun everyone! Remember, look out for the guy in back of the guy in front of you!!!</p>
