White Trash Sliders

I was invited to a tailgate last Friday and had seen these online and wanted to try them.  I actually mixed two recipes together to make these.  It is the same recipe I use for my Party Ryes so I knew they would be fabulous.

 

White Trash Sliders

1 lb ground beef

1 lb pork sausage

1 lb Velveeta, cubed

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 packages of Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

Brown ground beef and sausage until cooked through.  Drain grease from meat. Combine browned meat, Velveeta, onion powder and black pepper in the saucepan cheese is melted and bubbly.  Slice entire Hawaiian Rolls package horizontally.  Spoon mixture onto bottom half and replace top. 

 

I didn't bake them for 5 minutes at 350 degrees but may next time to have the rolls firm up.  They were wonderful and gone in no time.  Enjoy and Happy Tailgating!

 

Bourbon Balls

I was invited to a housing warming party over Labor Day and wanted to make something new since I haven't cook in so long.  So I found a recipe for Bourbon meatballs and thought they sounded yummy and easy.  Which is what I am needing after a crazy day of running 3 kids.

This was super easy to throw together in the crockpot and their is always whiskey in my cabinet.  Everyone loved them and I still had a few left over the next day.  Which was quite the surprise.  I did double this recipe to make sure I had plenty for the party.

Bourbon Balls
1 lb bag frozen meatballs

Not the best photo but they were wonderful

½ cup ketchup
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup bourbon whiskey
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp worcestershire sauce

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except your meatballs. Mix well.
Place your frozen meatballs into your crock pot and pour the whiskey sauce on top. Mix it up so each meatball is coated with the whiskey sauce. Turn up the heat to high. Leave it on high for about an hour, stirring a couple times.
Once meatballs have somewhat thawed, go ahead and turn your crockpot down to low. 

Update on my blog

Well, I haven't blogged in well over 6 weeks because my hubby passed away very unexpectedly August 8th.  I haven't cooked a thing since that day as meals arrive every day at my house.  I am blessed beyond measure for all the fabulous food that has arrived on my doorstep.  Several of my friends have made recipes right off of here for my family.  Which goes to show that someone is liking what I am posting.  So, I am going to hopefully get back to blogging and cooking.  It is something that I really enjoy and have missed.
