I got this recipe from my mother. We always have it at parties. The fondue is a thick, rich, tomato-type fondue. There is no cheese in it and it doesn't need it. The meatballs soak up some of the sauce to make it super yummy! It's always a hit for us, so I thought I'd share.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle ketchup , 32 ounce
- 1 can or bottle beer , 12 fluid ounce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 bays leaves
- 1.5 pounds 80% lean ground beef

1
Mix ketchup, beer, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves together in a slow cooker (such as Crock-Pot®) set over High.

Form ground beef into meatballs. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook meatballs, turning as needed, until browned, about 7 minutes.

Place meatballs in the slow cooker. Cook on High until sauce is thick, about 5 hours. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Smoked Mac and Cheese Is Perfect for All Your Summertime Barbecue Needs
This smoked macaroni and cheese recipe is more of a how-to. While I use prepared mac and cheese for ease, by all means use homemade if you choose–it will only be that much better. This takes on smoke flavor quickly and compliments smoked ribs, chicken, and brisket. Stick it on the smoker in the last hour of smoke time on your meat. By the time the meat is rested, this is ready to go.
