Tony’s Holiday Meatballs. A Tasty and Easy Holiday Crowd Pleaser

Every year during the holidays I do meatballs for gatherings of family, friends and work. There is nothing incredibly gourmet about them but they are easy to prepare and they can feed a crowd.

The ingredients are fairly simple.

  • 1/2 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1 Bottle of Bottled Barbecue Sauce
  • 1 Bag Fully Cooked Italian-style meatballs

In a slow cooker put in meatballs (preferably frozen) and cover them with the soy sauce and barbecue sauce. Put the slow cooker on its highest setting for about an hour and a half, then reduce to low.

These meatballs will have a unique flavor with the soy and barbecue sauces along with the seasonings in the balls themselves.

If you have any questions let me know. Try this out for your holiday gatherings.

Chicken and Waffles For Brunch…Yes Please

20150719_123810

We went to brunch today at Lakeshore Grille in Hixson, TN today after church. I had the best Chicken and Waffles today. The waffle was light and buttery, the chicken was cooked to perfection and the gravy was a interesting touch. It was sweet and savory rolled up into one. The best rendition of this dish I have ever had.
