Barbecue pork sausage balls with sauce and dip

Barbecue pork sausage balls are a very popular dish in several countries, especially in the United States where they are enjoyed as an appetizer or snack at gatherings and parties. This dish has its roots in American home cooking, where the combination of smoky and sweet flavors from the barbecue sauce perfectly complements the juicy texture of the meatballs. In Latin America, although there isn't an exactly identical name, similar dishes can be found under variations such as "sausage meatballs" or simply "meatballs" in different regions. The recipe has transcended borders and adapts to local tastes, maintaining its essence as a practical and delicious option to share.

In countries like Mexico or Argentina, these meatballs can be made with pork or beef, and the sauce can vary from sweet to spicy according to local preference. However, the base remains a mixture of meat with spices and a creamy accompaniment that enhances the flavor and makes them easy to enjoy. It is a dish that unites traditions and flavors, ideal for those looking for something tasty and different for their get-togethers.

How to Make Barbecue Pork Sausage Balls with Sauce and Dip

To begin, mix the ingredients for the sausage balls well: pork sausage, egg, dry breadcrumbs, sage, and a bit of salt and paprika for seasoning.

Form the mixture into balls approximately 1 inch in diameter.

Brown the balls on all sides in a skillet over medium-high heat to sear them and achieve a crispy texture.

Drain any fat generated during browning to prevent them from becoming greasy.

In a separate bowl, mix the sauce ingredients well: ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce, until you get a homogeneous mixture.

Pour this mixture over the already browned sausage balls.

Gently stir to coat all the balls well with the barbecue sauce.

Simmer for about 30 minutes so the balls absorb the flavors of the sauce and become tender.

Meanwhile, prepare the tangy and creamy dip by mixing sour cream, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, celery seed, and a pinch of salt.

To serve, spear a hot sausage ball with a toothpick and dip it into the tangy and creamy dip to enjoy the contrast of flavors.
