Old Forester® Bourbon & Bacon Meatballs

Ingredients

1/2 lb bacon strips, finely diced
1/2 sweet onion, finely diced
1 lb ground beef or turkey
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 tbsp. dried parsley
1 large egg
1 tsp. chili powder (or chipotle powder for smoky flavor)
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup water
4 tbsp. Old Forester® 86 Proof Bourbon

Directions

  1. Mix finely diced, uncooked bacon and onion in a bowl. (Slightly frozen bacon is easier to cut). Add ground beef/turkey, breadcrumbs, parsley, egg, chili/chipotle powder and salt. Stir.
  2. Roll mixture into two dozen 1-inch meatballs. Preheat oil in saucepan over medium heat, then add meatballs. Cook 10 minutes, turning occasionally so all sides cook evenly. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
  3. Combine barbecue sauce, Worcestershire, honey, water and Old Forester bourbon in saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until well blended. Add meatballs and simmer for 10 minutes.

How about a cocktail with that dish?

Cheers to being responsible.

A great host takes care of every little detail, especially when it comes to helping guests celebrate responsibly. For every occasion you plan, be sure to serve food, provide nonalcoholic options, and offer a safe ride home.
