I got this recipe from my mother. We always have it at parties. The fondue is a thick, rich, tomato-type fondue. There is no cheese in it and it doesn't need it. The meatballs soak up some of the sauce to make it super yummy! It's always a hit for us, so I thought I'd share.

Ingredients

  • 1 (32 ounce) bottle ketchup

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 ½ pounds 80% lean ground beef

Directions

  1. Mix ketchup, beer, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves together in a slow cooker (such as Crock-Pot®) set over High.

  2. Form ground beef into meatballs. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook meatballs, turning as needed, until browned, about 7 minutes.

  3. Place meatballs in the slow cooker. Cook on High until sauce is thick, about 5 hours. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Cook's Note:

Sometimes I take the lid off and cook on Low for a while and it thickens up real good.
