"I found these on another website ages ago ad they have since become a regular at my parties. You can use any bourbon but I have done well using Southern Comfort."

I stumbled upon this recipe a few mths ago & have made oodles of variations..Replacing bourbon with Southern Comfort, Cherry Vodka, Dr. Pepper, Cherry Cola, White Grape Juice Pretty much whatever liquor/soda/juice I already had in cabinet or fridge! I've always made homemade meatballs when making this recipe. I imagine frozen would taste great too! It's just your personal preference..That's what I love about sharing recipes back & forth..It allows each & e'ry one of us to experiment & tweak ingredients & preparation to suit our lifestyles & tastebuds! Thanks again for sharing this recipe! It DEFINITELY will ALWAYS be one of my top "Go-to" recipes for numerous reasons!

These drunken meatballs were great! I doubled the batch and used 2 x everything. Next time I would maybe just use 1.5 cups ketchup or it can get a bit ketchupy. Easy and so flavor-full!

I have been cooking these for years with 7-up or Sprite instead of the bourbon. I increase liquid to 1 cup also. As for why you cook meatballs that long even though they are already cooked is that the meatball absorbs the flavor and thickens the sauce, mingles or marries the flavors. My family asks for them on special occasions all the time. It is a favorite for holiday parties. I am definitely trying the bourbon.

Exactly why are we cooking ALREADY COOKED meatballs for 8-12 hours ???? Seems way beyond over kill.

These went fast at a jewelry party I had and am now doubling the recipe for a birthday party as a request. So easy and very delicious. I used home made meatballs.

I am originally from the Philadelphia area of the United States but have been living in London, UK since 1996. I now have dual American and British citizenship. I became a widow at the age of 27 in 2004 but have managed to fall in love again and was married again on July 19, 2008.I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters.I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment.I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily.These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.These are banners and buttons from Zaar events in which I have participated:<img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/duch*eSS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view¤t=metermaids.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/metermaids.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group14tomato.jpg><img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap3/group07kiwi.jpg><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/cookbookZWT.jpg" border="0" alt="I am alw">
