Barbecued Nibblers Recipe

What You Need

1

lb. ground beef

1/4

cup finely chopped onions

1

can (20 oz.) pineapple chunks, drained

1

pkg. (16 oz.) OSCAR MAYER Wieners, cut into 1-inch lengths

1

jar (12 oz.) apricot preserves

1

cup KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce

Make It

MIX meat and onions; shape into 24 meatballs, using about 1 Tbsp. meat mixture for each.

COOK in large skillet on medium heat 15 to 20 min. or until evenly browned and done (160ºF), turning after 10 min.; drain.

ADD remaining ingredients; simmer 5 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Serve on frilled toothpicks, if desired.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Prepare using peach preserves.

Special Extra

Add 1 chopped tomato with the remaining ingredients.

Shortcut

When making meatballs, use a small ice cream scoop with a release mechanism to shape the meat instead of your hands. Just spray the inside of the scoop with cooking spray, then use it to shape the meat into balls. By not using your hands, you are decreasing the chance of spreading bacteria from the raw meat to your work area.

I made this recipe for a bridal luncheon I hosted and no on would touch it. It looked a lot like dog food even after I garnished it and plated it. When I had a few brave souls to sample a bite it was entirely too sweet. I am known as a great cook among my friends and I was embarrassed to disappoint them. It might work better to use less preserves and more onions, maybe a few red peppers.

I used frozen meatballs instead of making my own in order to save time. Placed all ingredients in a slow cooker on low so guests could nibble as desired.

It was a great hit at my last year's wine party, everyone enjoyed the taste. The pineapple and apricot preserves with the meats was a delicious combination. So this year, it will be on the table again for my guest.

I absolutely loved this. It was so easy to prepare and it came out appealing to the eye AND the tongue. Made it for the Superbowl and got rave reviews for it. I used kielbasa instead of hot dogs and ground turkey instead of ground beef. The flavor was incredible.

I made this resicpe for Superbowl, it was not good, the sauce was too sweet and the meats didn't have enough flavor.

I made this for a bridal shower that I was throwing. After reading other members reviews I decided I should probably just make a double recipe right off the bat so I wouldn't run out and it's a good thing I did! Everyone loved it! I used frozen mini meatballs instead of making my own and I used lowfat hotdogs instead of regular ones. No one had any idea, you couldn't taste the difference. Overall...very good!!
