"One of my favourite appetisers,a Saskatchewan Roughrider golden oldie that never fails to please. Surprisingly this ketchup based sauce empties long before the other offerings and always an empty platter. So simple ... so good! Recipe courtesy of Tom Whitehouse. Use your favourite meatball recipe or premade from the market. When expecting a crowd I make up mini meatballs, bake and freeze, needing only to thaw, add to the sauce and pop in the crock pot to keep hot. They look awesome served on a white platter or oval serving bowl. For those who love spicy, it's as easy as adding a little of your favourite to get the extra spicy or hot version. "

Delightful! For such a quick and easy sauce, it sure is delicious. I did add cayenne to the mix for a wonderful sweet/hot sauce. Made large meatballs to serve on a plate. DH was in heaven! Thank you for another one of your wonderful keeper recipes Gerry! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.

The sauce was really delicious...I used some frozen meatballs but wish I would have made my own...with that said...the sauce was the star...we do enjoy spiciness so I tossed some horseradish into the sauce...that gave it a nice touch of heat...made for Alphabet Tag game at FF&F...
