Spicy Red Devil Cocktail Meatballs | Food Wishes

Hello, this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with Red Devil cocktail meatballs.

That's right. They say the devil's in the details, which is why I've eliminated most of the details here to make these less devilish to do and even more devilishly delicious to eat. And whether you're doing a football tailgate or a Halloween party, these will be absolutely perfect. And to get started, we will add some ground beef and some ground pork to a mixing bowl.

And while you can use one or the other, I think a combo works best. And since we are using

two different kind of meats, what I like to do is take a fork and blend these two meats together before we add the rest of the ingredients just to hopefully avoid overmixing later. And once our two meats have become one, we will toss in the rest of the ingredients, which will include one large egg, a small but important splash of milk, and then we'll also need some salt, of course, as well as some freshly ground black pepper, followed by some garlic powder, as well as some onion powder.

And then, obviously, if the recipe has the word devil in the name,

we're going to have to also add a little bit of cayenne. And that's it. We'll finish up with our breadrumbs. And then we'll take our fork again and we will mix and stir this until everything's evenly combined. And while it does take a little bit longer, I really like using a fork for this, but if you want, you can use a big spoon or a spatula or even your hand. I mean, you are after all the Lucifer of which tool you'd prefer. But I really do think the fork is the best choice or even a small pitchfork if you have it.

And then once that's mixed, what we'll do is pat it
