This is really easy but GREAT

Here's another great sour cream sauce:





2/3 cup sour cream


2 tablespoons water


4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice


1/4 teaspoon salt


1/2 cup finely chopped fresh chives


Freshly ground black pepper





Blend sour cream, water, juice, salt, and chives in a blender until mixture just turns pale green. Season with pepper.





Then heat it up in a saucepan until simmering then dump in meatballs and let them sit in there until your ready to serve.


*Note: Let them heat up in the sauce for about 10 minutes if there still frozen, if thawed then just 5 minutes.

MEATBALLS IN CREAM SAUCE





1 lb. ground beef


1 c. bread crumbs


1/3 c. milk, canned okay


1/4 c. minced onion


Butter


1 tbsp. green pepper


1 1/2 tsp. salt


1/8 tsp. pepper


1/4 tsp. nutmeg





Mix all ingredients together and form into miniature balls. Saute meatballs in butter until brown. Remove balls from pan. Drain off grease. To pan that the balls had been sauteed in and add: 1 c. hot water 1 tsp. beef bouillon 1 c. milk, canned may be used


Cook and stir until thicken. Add meatballs and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes. Nutmeg may be sprinkled on the top. Serve in chafing dish, kept warm.
Mix together 16oz of Velveeta cubed, and a large jar of mild salsa, a large jar of Goya Pico De Gallo, and a large can of Rotel. Simmer until melted and yum! Dice a few jalapenos in if you want a kick. And chopped fresh cilantro with a squeeze of lime and a dash of chili powder over top if serving in a large bowl for dipping. And a huge dollup of sour creme with chopped chives and sliced black olives looks nice too. Add the pan cooked meatbals or serve on skewers for dipping {like Fondue}.
We really like this one. In fact, my recipe card has spills all over it because it's so good and I've used it so much.





COCKTAIL BBQ SAUCE





Mix together 4 Tbs. Catsup; 1/4 tsp. ground ginger; 2 Tbs. dry sherry; 1 tsp. sugar and 6 to 8 drops Tabasco. Double the recipe for meatballs or 2 packages hotdogs. Good hors d鈥檕euvre sauce! Option: Add sliced green onions.





I normally start with a double recipe, but have also made larger batches depending upon how many meatballs I'm making. In fact, I'm going to use this sauce next Sat. for a picnic. If you don't have sherry, you can use wine.
Hawaiian Meatballs

TGI Friday's Jack Daniel's Dipping Sauce





We were a little surprised by the complexity of this sauce. It is not really sweet. It does compliment meat flavors very well. We are also amazed at how sparingly TGI Friday's serves their sauce.





1/3 C. Diced Red Onions


1/2 tsp. Finely Diced Garlic


1/2 C. Water


1/2 C. Brown Sugar


1/3 C. Teriyaki Sauce


1/4 C. Soy Sauce


1/3 C. White Grape Juice


1/2 C. Jack Daniel's Black Label Bourbon


1/2 tsp. Tabasco Sauce





Place ingredients in sauce pan in order listed. Mix and stir after each ingredient. Place on medium heat and stir until mixture reaches boiling stage. Turn temperature down to low until mixture is on a slow simmer. Cook sauce for 35 - 45 minutes and remove from heat. Mixture will have reduced in volume about a 1/4 to 1/3.





Sauce is great with chicken fingers or crispy deep fried chicken breast strips.
