A very old recipe from "The Art of Seasoning" an interesting little booklet outlining the origin and history of Tabasco Pepper Sauce. Tabasco Sauce was named after an Indian word meaning "land where the soil is humid." This aptly describes the small area where the peppers grow best. Since 1868, this word, TABASCO, has been used as the exclusive trademark for the pepper sauce made by the McIlhenny Company, registered in the United States patent office and in the patent offices of most foreign countries.

These tasted great! I only used ground beef and browned them using Pam Butter flavor to make them a little healthier. As recommended Uncle Tom's Appetizer Meatball Sauce. There were none left at the end of the night. Thanks for a great recipe!

Just nothing like a great tasting meatball and this is it. Have made up a # of batches,flash froze them and vacum packed ready at a moments notice. I did serve some with Gerry999 Uncle Tom's Appetizer Meatball Sauce which was rated tops by my guests. Great recipe.

What a great recipe, Toolie!! I used half each of ground beef and pork - made the recipe exactly as the directions stated and ended up with extremely tasty little morsels that my whole family enjoyed. My eldest son, Daniel, wants me to make burgers using this recipe from now on!! I will certainly be making these again, they were very yummy!! Thanks Toolie.

Have been trying new appetizer recipes...a trial run before some planned gatherings. These are really good! No left overs! I know my guests will enjoy a platter of these delicious appetizers. I like to include something new when serving family and friends and this one is certainly worth the making.
