Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Finely chop the Vienna sausages using a knife or food processor.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and chopped Vienna sausages. Mix thoroughly to distribute the sausage evenly throughout the ground beef.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
- Shape the mixture into small meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter. You should get around 40-50 meatballs, depending on the size.
- Arrange the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Place the baking sheet with meatballs in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the meatballs are browned and cooked through.
- Ensure the internal temperature of the meatballs reaches 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
- In a large saucepan or pot, combine the strawberry jam, chili sauce, and red pepper.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients together.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 5-10 minutes until it is well combined and slightly thickened.
- Once the meatballs are done baking, carefully transfer them into the saucepan containing the simmering sauce.
- Stir gently to coat all meatballs evenly with the sauce.
- Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes, allowing them to soak up the flavors.
- Transfer the meatballs to a serving dish and spoon any extra sauce over the top.
- These meatballs can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main dish. They pair well with rice, pasta, or even bread rolls.
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, finely chop the Vienna sausages before mixing them with the ground beef.
- If you prefer a less spicy dish, you can reduce the amount of red pepper or omit it entirely.
- Make sure to mix the jelly and chili sauce well for a consistent flavor throughout the meatballs.
- To enhance the presentation, garnish the meatballs with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro before serving.
- Serve the meatballs with toothpicks for easy handling, especially if they are part of a party platter.
