Game Day Glazed BBQ Meatballs

With the weekend just hours away, I wanted to share a quick, yummy and perfect Game Day food.  If your home is anything like ours, Friday night, Saturday, and most all day Sunday is centered around ESPN.  This Saturday is a huge Game Day in our home as our Murray State Racers, who are 20-0 and the only undefeated Division I college basketball team in the nation, are playing, as well as our #1 ranked Kentucky Wildcats!  Needless to say, our house will be loud and rowdy for most of the day, and nothing goes better with basketball and rowdy boys than Game Day Foods!

To make these meatballs you will need:
1 cup of a classic BBQ sauce.  (we prefer Jack Daniels sauce, but any will work)
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup molasses or honey
36 frozen meatballs, unthawed

Combine the BBQ sauce, Worcestershire and honey in a large skillet.  Heat to a boil.  Stir in meatballs. Simmer, covered, about 10 min, until meatballs are heated through.  Stir often.  Serve meatballs warm with party picks and enjoy your game!

TIP: This recipe can easily be doubled and can also be heated in a slow cooker.

Game Day Glazed BBQ Meatballs

Party Mix

Last night over at Mocha Mornings I blogged about the treats I made for the kids' teachers for Halloween.  The jars turned out super cute and it was such an easy project for a person, like myself, who is not that crafty.  As promised here is the recipe I used to make the party mix that I gifted. While you're here feel free to hop on over to Mocha Mornings and check out my jars! :)

PRINTABLE VERSION
You will need:
3 cups Corn Chex Mix
3 cups Rice Chex Mix
3 cups Wheat Chex Mix
1 cup Cheerios
1 cup Raisins
1 to 2 cups pretzel sticks
*2 cups candy corn (M&M's are good too)
1 cup nuts (optional)
1 stick of butter
6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 large turkey size cooking bag

*do not bake candy. This is added after the mixture has baked and has cooled.

What to do:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
1.  In the large cooking bag mix the cereals, raisins, pretzels and optional nuts; set aside.  In a small microwavable bowl, microwave the butter until melted.  Add the Worcestershire and seasonings and stir.  Pour over cereal mixture in the bag and mix until evenly coated.  (I twist the top of the bag and toss mixture until coated).
2.  After mixture is coated pour into a large un-greased roasting pan.  Place in oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.  After mix is finished removed from oven and allow to cool, about 20 minutes.
3.  After mix has cooled stir in candy corn or other candy of choice.  Store in an airtight container.

TIP:  Since I make party mix often, especially during football and basketball season, I reuse my turkey bag.  After coating the mixture and putting into the roasting pan I fold my turkey bag up and place it in the freezer to use again.  I consider my bag "seasoned" and it saves me from having to buy a new one every few weeks.
