Ingredients
- 1/2 cup grated red onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups gluten free panko bread crumbs
- 1 cup Musselman's Apple Butter divided
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons honey
- cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degree F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter in it. When the butter has melted, add the grated onions and saute for 3-4 minutes, until soft.
- In a large bowl, mix the sausage, ground beef, panko, 1/2 cup apple butter, sour cream, eggs, salt, pepper, and allspice. Add the onion, once it cools. Get your hands in it and mix well, until evenly combined.
- Measure out the meatballs into one ounce portions. Roll tight balls and place them on the baking sheet, close together, but not touching. You should have 40-45 meatballs.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of apple butter, with beef broth, honey, and 1-2 dashes of cayenne pepper. Whisk well.
- After 15 minutes, remove the meatballs from the oven. Pour the sauce over the top, making sure to cover each meatball, and place back in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooked through, shake the baking sheet a little to loosen the meatballs and serve warm.
