Ingredients

  • 16 ounce package frozen cooked plain meatballs
  • 1/3 cup apple jelly

  • 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • Few dashes Tabasco hot sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place frozen meatballs in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Bake about 20 minutes or until heated through.
  • In a large saucepan, stir together jelly, mustard, whiskey, worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco. Cook and stir over medium heat until jelly is melted and mixture is bubbly.
