- Hey everybody, it's Bobby here and it's hard to believe,
0:03
but it's that time of year.
0:04
It's 2023, and one of my favorite things
0:08
about the new year every year, big game football.
0:13
I like it, right?
0:14
It's coming up.
0:15
So we wanna do all sorts of great
0:17
maybe hand foods, finger foods, stuff to sit out
0:21
for all your friends to come over while you're screaming
0:24
at the television about
0:25
what are you doing guys get the ball, right?
0:27
That kinda stuff.
0:28
Well, today I'm gonna show you how to make some
0:30
amazing meatballs and they're really, really simple.
0:34
And we're gonna start at the start.
0:35
Okay? So I've got a skillet going with some olive oil
0:39
and to the olive oil I added some white onion
0:41
and some pepper, green pepper.
0:44
And I'm also going to add some garlic.
0:52
All the usual suspects.
0:55
And the, the pepper
0:57
and the onion are just about translucent and ready.
1:00
And I added the garlic last
1:02
because like butter, garlic burns.
1:05
So I'm just gonna give that a little, little heat.
1:10
Here we go.
1:12
And we're gonna put it into a big mixing bowl here
1:17
and I'm gonna give it a few minutes to cook, to cool off.
1:21
And once that cools a bit, I'm gonna make my meatballs
1:29
with this as sort of the center of the meatballs.
1:32
Now the meatballs are going to be ground beef, ground pork
1:36
couple of eggs, evaporated milk, chili powder, pepper, salt
1:39
and just some bread crumbs.
1:41
Super simple but really delicious.
1:43
So we'll be right back in just a minute to finish it, okay?
1:47
Okay. Our meatballs, we've done the hard part.
1:50
Saute the onions and the peppers and the garlic,
1:52
that's the hard part.
1:53
The rest of this is just fun and easy.
1:54
It's just putting everything together
1:57
and then we're going to just bake it off in the oven.
2:00
So let's go ahead and mix up our eggs,
2:05
which I'm doing right now.
2:06
You could just add the two, you know, eggs to the mixture,
2:09
but if you've gotta mix them up with your hands anyway
2:12
I'd like to just go ahead and give 'em a scramble.
2:18
Beat beat, beat, beat, beat, beat.
2:20
And they are ready.
2:22
So the big football game.
2:24
Who else likes the football? Besides me? I like it.
2:29
Who do you think is going to be in the big game this year?
2:32
I have my guesses.
2:33
Is anybody watching football? Do y'all like football?
2:35
The people who like my mom's show and to cook
2:39
and to follow us and see this stuff.
2:42
Do you like football? Are you watching football?
2:46
Are you sports fans?
2:47
I wonder cause I, I am. I always have been.
2:51
And now Mom is, Mom's funny. Mom's super cute.
2:57
So she'll, you know what Mom actually
3:00
kind of does get excited when this
3:02
when this particular football game rolls around every year
3:06
she kind of does get excited, but I think only because
3:10
because it's a magnet for her family.
3:13
You know, everybody comes over
3:14
to her house to watch the game and she's getting to cook
3:18
for everybody and have a good time.
3:20
But as far as sports is concerned, super casual.
3:23
Now my mom did, my mom has been
3:27
to the Kentucky Derby and my mom has thrown
3:32
out the first pitch at a Washington National baseball game.
3:35
And what else with sports with my mom.
3:38
One of my favorite memories, gosh,
3:40
oh this is such a good memory for me,
3:42
one of my favorite memories is when we were
3:44
in Chicago many years ago, my mom, my brother,
3:49
my Aunt Peggy and me, we were in Chicago
3:54
to do the Oprah Winfrey show, I think.
3:57
I say we, I was not on your Oprah Winfrey show.
3:59
My mom was on the Oprah Winfrey show.
4:01
But we were all there together
4:02
and we went to see the Chicago Cubs play
4:06
and we had really good, just, they were just perfect seats.
4:11
They were on the third base line
4:14
in the lower deck and they were just right.
4:17
They weren't right on the field,
4:18
they were just maybe, I don't know, 20 rows up.
4:22
And I looked at my left and there's my mom and my brother
4:25
and looked at my right and there's Aunt Peggy.
4:26
And it's just, you know even if you're not a big sports fan
4:31
Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, you know, there's some
4:34
some real cathedrals and that's just a great memory for me.
4:38
We had a really, really good time.
4:40
Okay, so I've got my beef
4:41
and my pork together really well combined.
4:46
You know, you got two different kinds of meat there
4:49
so you wanna blend them up.
4:50
You don't want, you don't want one meatball that tastes
4:51
like beef and one meatball that tastes like pork
4:53
and one meatball to have egg in it
4:56
and one meatball not to have egg in it.
4:57
You wanna make sure that everything's pretty
4:59
pretty well married.
5:00
Now my hands are clean before I started doing this,
5:04
but they're now, they're now they're cooking dirty.
5:07
But I'm gonna go ahead and, and go ahead and, and
5:09
and grab all these, these, these little bowls
5:12
and stuff with my dirty hands
5:17
and add in my seasons, my chili powder, my salt, my pepper
5:21
and we'll go back and wash our hands again
5:22
and clean our dishes.
5:23
So don't worry about that.
5:25
And then I'm gonna add to that the breadcrumbs
5:30
and just sort of make everything it's even and as well mixed
5:34
as I can before I add my evaporated milk.
5:37
I'm gonna add that last.
5:38
Now there's not a particular order to this.
5:41
If you were to read this recipe, you would just add it in
5:46
in, in the way that you saw fit.
5:48
And that's what I'm doing now.
5:50
I'm gonna get it super nice and mixed.
5:54
Oh, this already smells so good.
5:56
Do y'all like meatballs?
5:58
I do whenever I go to like a Christmas party
6:03
or something where you expect sort of the usual stuff.
6:06
I always love it when somebody's got a crock pot full
6:09
of the little meatballs though.
6:11
But usually those are like store bought frozens,
6:16
but not these baby.
6:18
These are homemade meatballs,
6:19
well seasoned with my own little manos.
6:24
Okay, so I've got all my dry stuff in there
6:27
and pretty well mixed.
6:33
Let's go ahead and this is when I'm happy
6:35
that my fingernails are short too, so I don't end up
6:38
with meat up under my finger nails.
6:41
Alright, so here we go.
6:43
The evaporated milk last but not least.
6:53
Wonderful.
6:54
Now that looks awfully wet and my eggs
6:59
and my eggs are going to really bind it all together.
7:07
Sorry, I left those two meat trays sitting right there too.
7:10
That's not very app, it's not very appetizing.
7:14
- [Camera Operator] I'll move that for you.
7:15
- Not very appetizing looking.
7:20
And now that everything's good and cooled down those onions
7:24
and peppers and everything that was a little bit warm
7:26
I'll add my eggs so,
7:28
that they don't turn into scramble the eggs on me.
7:33
Boy, I need a hand washing, woo. I need a hand washing.
7:42
And finally, our two eggs beaten.
7:46
And then what we'll do,
7:48
is we'll take ourselves a little break.
7:51
I'll get these dishes in the sink
7:52
wash my hands one more time
7:54
and then we will come back and we will roll our meatballs.
7:58
We will add them to that casserole dish.
8:00
And there's one thing left to do,
8:01
which I didn't tell you yet
8:03
and that is I am taking a very good, not my favorite
8:08
because my brother and I have a barbecue sauce
8:10
out there that's really, really good.
8:12
But today I'm using an
8:14
off the shelf brand that I really like.
8:18
Lots of other people like it too.
8:22
We're gonna add a barbecue sauce over the top of 'em
8:24
and we're gonna bake them off in the oven
8:27
and they're going to be so, so very delicious
8:30
and big game worthy.
8:32
So let's take a break
8:32
and I'll see you back in just a few minutes.
8:35
Okay, so I've got the meatballs formed,
8:37
my hands are clean and they look beautiful
8:40
in our casserole dish here.
8:42
Now here's the deal.
8:44
You could form these meatballs and then freeze them
8:48
and they would, they would be wonderful that way.
8:50
But if you do freeze them, obviously you'd have to
8:53
maybe cook 'em a little longer.
8:55
They'll be cold in the inside, but whatever.
8:57
But I formed these meatballs, they're fresh
9:01
and here they are in our casserole dish.
9:02
And now the last thing that we're gonna do is
9:04
add some really good barbecue sauce to it.
9:07
You might be able to see the name on here,
9:08
but I'll just let you guess what the brand is.
9:11
I like it.
9:12
And the recipe, God bless my mama calls
9:15
for a whole bottle of barbecue sauce.
9:19
So let's see what that looks like.
9:21
Now you would think maybe
9:24
that the barbecue sauce would, would burn and stick,
9:28
but I think that we're gonna get a lot of, you know
9:32
grease from our pork and our beef here.
9:36
And I don't think
9:37
that we're gonna have a problem with it sticking.
9:41
So I'm gonna be super liberal with this and let it ride.
9:46
Now you're looking, I know you're looking at these meatballs
9:48
and you're thinking, well gosh, Bobby, those, those are big.
9:51
And I was thinking the same thing
9:53
as I was forming 'em off, like, eh, these are pretty big.
9:55
But I was thinking, you know, if I was hav-
9:59
if I was doing a cocktail party
10:00
with 50 people here coming over, you know
10:03
maybe I'd wanna make tiny little meatballs,
10:06
but with just a few folks for the game
10:10
I want these meatballs to be kind of hardy and big.
10:14
And to, you know, fewer of 'em, right?
10:18
Oh wow. I got my thinking cap on.
10:22
Bigger meatballs means you just have
10:23
to eat fewer of 'em that looks and smells amazing.
10:30
That is big game worthy.
10:32
Look how beautiful those meatballs will look.
10:36
Now we're gonna stick them in the oven
10:38
in the time and temperature-
10:40
- [Camera Operator] 350
10:41
- 350 for probably,
10:43
I don't know, 25 minutes, maybe 30 minutes.
10:45
We'll spin 'em and take a look at 'em.
10:47
They might be ready, we'll check them.
10:48
So I'll see in just a few minutes.
10:51
These meatballs look and smell fantastic.
10:54
This was a blend of ground beef and pork
10:57
and to it we added some breadcrumbs and some salt
11:01
and some pepper and some yada yada yada.
11:03
And we baked them for 30 minutes.
11:05
Now the recipe is gonna tell you an hour,
11:08
that's if you freeze the meatballs, okay?
11:10
We did these at 350 for 30 minutes
11:12
and they came out beautifully topped with barbecue sauce.
11:17
The only difference between this
11:18
and like a cocktail meatball is that these are super sized.
11:24
These are for the big game and they're a little bit bigger
11:28
than your like cocktail meatball.
11:31
But I think that they look fantastic. They smell great.
11:38
Oh yeah. Perfectly cooked.
11:40
Let's see how they taste.
11:46
Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Man
11:54
Y'all need to make these.
11:56
Those are super good, man.
12:00
Okay, well who's ready for the big game?
12:02
You ready? I'm ready.
