Hot Sauce Meatballs

Does your Dish Washer like hot wings as much as mine? Well, this weekend I was reading through a cookbook and found a recipe for meatballs using Frank's Red Hot sauce, which was perfect because I had some leftover from when I made Buffalo Chicken Dip. I changed up the original recipe a little bit by using oats instead of bread crumbs:

Hot Sauce Meatballs

1-1/2 pounds ground beef

1/2 c. cooking oats

1 egg

1/2 c. onion, minced

1-1/2 tsp. Frank's RedHot Wing Sauce

Sauce

1/2 c. Frank's RedHot Wing Sauce

1 c. ketchup

3/4 c. beer

Preheat oven to 400. Combine beef, oats, egg, onion and 1-1/2 tsp. wing sauce. Shape mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Put meatballs in a baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, until cooked through. (Mine went about 13 minutes.) Drain off drippings.

In a large pot, bring 1/2 c. wing sauce, ketchup and beer to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until slightly thickened. Pour over meatballs and place back into warm oven until meatballs are heated through.
