Small BBQ Meatballs on Rice

I cannot remember where I found this recipe 10 years ago (possibly "Lundi" weekly publication in Quebec Canada). My mother worked in a "cantine" at the time and it's now one of their "featured" dishes. I personally love the taste (slightly sweet) and the rice makes the dish, a must! It's one of my favorite and the sauce can actually be used on Pork Chops as well.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• Meatballs

• 1⁄2 lb ground pork
• 1⁄2 lb ground beef
• 1⁄2 cup  dry breadcrumbs
• 1⁄2 cup  condensed milk or 1⁄2 cup half-and-half cream
• 1  small onion, finely chopped
•  salt and pepper

• Sauce

• 1⁄2 cup ketchup
• 1⁄4 cup chili sauce
• 2  tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1  garlic clove, chopped (I use more cause I love garlic!)
• 2  teaspoons butter
• 2  drops Tabasco sauce (or more, to taste!)
• 2  tablespoons brown sugar
•  salt and pepper

Directions

1. Mix all of the meatball ingredients together and form into small meatballs. Place in a baking dish and set aside.
2. Preheat oven at 325°F.
3. Mix all of the sauce ingredients, cook (bring to a boil) on stove top for a few minutes. Put sauce on top of the meatballs and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes.
4. Serve on top of cooked rice.
5. SPECIAL NOTE: The sauce may be doubled if you like a lot of it on your rice -- again, adjust this recipe to your personal liking after trying it once as-is -- there's not one recipe that I haven't adapted to make it my own! :-).
