Bourbon Maple Dijon Sauce
Meatballs are kind of my jam. I actually have the power to start fights over my meatballs. I think it’s safe to say they are my favorite party food. I do have one recipe in particular that I don’t ever plan to share (maybe someday in a cookbook), but I’ve shared my chicken meatball recipe with you all before.
That recipe taught you that you have creative power over your meatballs, and I am simply giving you a template or a base to start from. It’s a delicious meatball, and I’m quite proud of it!
What I didn’t give you was a sauce for the meatball. I am a sauce person 100%! I usually want multiple dipping sauces any time I order chicken nuggets, wings, even fries. On occasion, I’ll even dip a good burger in a sauce. I think I really just like the act of dipping something in order to enhance flavor.
I wanted to give this meatball some fall flavor, so I decided to whip up a Dijon sauce with maple and bourbon. Of course, I tried to find a way to include bourbon. Don’t you all know who I am! 😉
Not only is this sauce super easy to make, but it also pairs wonderfully with pork or turkey. You could even put this sauce on your Thanksgiving leftover turkey sandwich! OMG! My mouth is watering!
