Elevate your meatballs with sweet and spicy sausage for a delicious twist on a classic appetizer.
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 lb mild bulk breakfast sausage
  • 1/2 cup Progresso™ plain bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot (about 1 large)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped peeled red apple
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup real maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and generously coat a large rimmed cookie sheet with cooking spray. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the Meatball ingredients. Form the mixture into 42 (approximately 1 1/2-inch) balls and arrange them on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160°F and are no longer pink in the center.
  • In a 12-inch skillet, stir together all Sauce ingredients until well blended. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes. Stir occasionally until the sauce thickens and reduces to about 2/3 cup.
  • Add the meatballs to the sauce and gently stir to coat them. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, making sure to stir and turn the meatballs occasionally until they are fully coated in the sauce.
