Buffalo Meatballs
Report
Any meat works here, so long as it has at least a little fat. I used ground venison for this batch, but you do you. Once made, these reheat well and will keep for a week in the fridge.

Ingredients
SAUCE
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup Frank's Hot Sauce (see above for alternatives)
- 3 tablespoons honey (optional)
MEATBALLS
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 1 1/2 pounds ground meat
- 2/3 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian style)
- 1/4 cup finely grated pecorino or parmesan
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup minced parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Instructions
- Sauté the onion in a small pan in the vegetable oil until soft. Remove and allow to cool. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Heat the hot sauce in the same pan, over medium-low heat. Add the honey, if you are using it. Whisk in the butter little by little, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated. Keep warm, but do not let this simmer or it will break.
- Put all the meatball ingredients in a bowl and mix well. If you can, let this mixture rest in the fridge for 30 minutes so the breadcrumbs can absorb the moisture. When you are ready, form into meatballs. I like them small so I use a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture. Roll them into balls and set them so they do not touch on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake the meatballs for 25 minutes. Move them to a large bowl and pour the Buffalo sauce on them. Toss to coat and serve with celery sticks and blue cheese sauce.
