I’m happy to announce that the winner of the McCall’s Cookie Collection giveaway is Calvin Fung from Richmond, British Columbia. Congrats Calvin, and many thanks to all who entered.
Now on to today’s recipe from the 2-in-1 International Recipe Card collection.
Inspired by the classic French dish, Boef Bourguignon, these wine-flavored bacon-wrapped cocktail meatballs, kept warm in a chafing dish, are sure-fire show-stoppers at an important gathering of food-loving friends. This makes about 2 dozen meatballs to serve with Mustard Mayonnaise.
To serve in chafing dish over candle flame: Place meatballs in chafing dish; add 1/2 cup burgundy to chafing dish to prevent drying out.
