Servings: 12
Ingredients
1 pound Jimmy Dean Original sausage
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken
1 egg
1 medium onion
1 clove garlic
1 small bunch green onions
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon liquid smoke
1 small cayenne pepper or ½ teaspoon Tobasco sauce
1 to 1 ½ cup bread crumbs
Preparation
Mix first six ingredients using a food grinder with the small hole grinding plate into a tub or bowl. Add last 5 ingredients. Mix by hand until well blended. Add enough bread crumbs so entire mix is stiff enough to make into a large ball. Run through grinder again using the large hole grinding plate. Should look like the included photo coming out of the grinder. Make small ¾ to 1 inch meatballs. Place meatballs on wax paper on a cookie sheet and put in freezer overnight. After the meatballs are frozen they can be placed in zip lock bags for storage or transport. To cook, place frozen meatballs in a 12 or 14 inch Dutch oven and place 6 briquettes under the oven and 20 on the lid. Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check with meat thermometer to verify meat temperature is at least 165° F. Serve as an appetizer or mixed with other foods… pasta, sauces, on bread, etc.
