This is a delicious dinner…..try it soon! You’ll be happy you did!!!! What can be better than meatballs except for meatballs with Jack Daniel’s!
Jack Daniel’s Meatballs
I used ground chicken but am also going to try it with ground beef next time. I mixed my meatballs the pretty standard way….1 pound meat, 1 egg, some bread crumbs to hold them together (I used gluten free) and Parmesan cheese. Added some scallions and rolled into meatballs. I baked them on an oil lined pan for about 20 mins at 400.
Meanwhile, make the sauce-this is where the magic happens!!!
1/4 cup Jack Daniels Whiskey
1/4 cup soy sauce (To make gluten free-use Tamari)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup scallion
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 tsp. salt (or to taste)
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1T. cornstarch
Place all in a pot and cook together just a few mins. Add cooked meatballs and stir to coat. Serve topped with scallions and sesame seeds. Drizzle a drop of toasted sesame oil on top before serving.

Is this on your Pintrest somewhere? I’m finding I really like to keep things there. A lot easier than a recipe box.

Harriett Dickson says
I would love to try this but am allergic to Jack Daniels. Any suggestions as to what else I can use. Really would like to try this
DANIELLE says
hmmmm, not sure-how about cognac maybe???
john says
I made this sauce (doubled amounts) and poured it over pan fried chicken tenderloins and baked for about a half hour. It came out great! The only thing I would change for next time is a little less mustard.
Bobbie Johnson says
Can I make this in a crock-pot? If so how would you do it or would you change anything?
danielle says
I wouldn’t recommend that.
Brooke says
I would cook the meat balls first then put them in the crock pot or at least brown the balls
Joan says
The mustard in this overpowers everything else. If I were to make this again I would use half the amount. Very disappointing.
Sara says
This is a really good recipe. I’m a whiskey lover and you can definitely taste the Jack in this one. The only thing I would recommend is leaving your salt out until you taste your mixture. Mine came out a little too salty. But.. To be fair i was also drinking the Jack while I was making it. So I may have added too much salt or soy sauce 😀
