Thank You!! THANK YOU!!! thank you!!!

I honestly cannot tell you how grateful I am that you follow and read my blog!  It really does amaze me.  In January, I really never thought that people would read this.  So I am really humbled by this experience!!  While my husband and dogs are sleeping I am writing (today), while the people in my house are watching TV or doing something else fun, I am writing.  While, I am working I am thinking about cooking and writing.  So, the simple face that you are ready makes me SOOO happy!  

(After you read about this one, there is one recipe left in my five, and I will more than likely cook it tonight.)  Who doesn't LOVE meatballs?  I mean really, they just taste so darn good.  These are no exception.  However with all these recipes that I have found this time around they need tweaked just a bit.

Preparation Instructions

NOTE: 1 bag of (1 pound) frozen meatballs is only about 18 to 20 larger size meatballs. That is perfect for a small get-together. But if you’re going to a larger party, you might want to get TWO bags of meatballs, and in that case you would then DOUBLE the above recipe.

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except your meatballs. Mix up really well.

Place your frozen meatballs into your crock pot, and pour the whiskey sauce in on top. Mix it up all around so each meatball is coated with the whiskey sauce.

Now turn up the heat to high. Leave it on high for about an hour, stirring a couple times.

Once it appears that the meatballs have somewhat thawed, go ahead and turn your crockpot down to low.

You don’t want to burn all that wonderful whiskey sauce! That’s the best part!

Boy these are so good! Now I know where whiskey-a-go-go came from!

Ingredients

• 1 pound Bag Frozen Meatballs
• ½ cups Ketchup (Heaping)
• ½ cups Brown Sugar, Packed
• ¼ cups Bourbon Whiskey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

Hubby really liked them.  He ate most of them and then complained that there were not anymore.  It isn't that I didn't like them, but I need more than what i was tasting.  Here is what I would change:
1. I would put in a full cup of ketchup and brown sugar.  I really like my meatballs to be sausey.  2. If you keep the ketchup and brown sugar the same, add less of the Bourbon Whiskey (I used Wild Turkey 101, that could be why it was super strong).  3. She doesn't say how long to cook the meatballs.  I cooked them for an hour and then another 30 minutes, they could have been longer.  

I didn't serve these on a holiday, but on a weeknight it was still just as tasty!
