SURPRISE MEATBALL FONDUE

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix ground beef, onion and bread crumbs.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Shape meat mixture into 36 even-sized balls.
• Flatten each ball slightly, place a piece of cheese in the middle and mold the meat around it, sealing well.
• To make the barbecue sauce, put tomato paste, vinegar, honey, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce and broth in a small saucepan and simmer 10 minutes.
• Blend cornstarch with orange juice, stir into sauce, and simmer 1 minute.
• General fondue directions: Fill the pot a third full of vegetable oil and heat on the stove until it reaches 375 degrees.
• Then, carefully transfer the pot to the burner on the table.
• If too much food is added to the oil, the temperature will drop, so reheating on the stove will be necessary.
• At the table each person spears a piece of meat, fish or vegetable with a fondue fork and places it in the oil until cooked to their taste.
• Makes 4 to 6 servings.
