Ingredients

8 servings

  • 1 cup MUSSELMAN'S® Apple Butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup grated red onion
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees 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.
