Method

1. For the meatballs: preheat the grill to high.

2. In a large bowl, combine the minced beef, onion, green pepper, breadcrumbs, egg and tabasco sauce. Mix thoroughly.

3. Form the mixture into bite-sized meatballs (each ball should be about 3cm in diameter).

4. Arrange the meatballs on a baking tray and place under the hot grill for 10-12 minutes. Turn occasionally, until browned all over.

5. For the sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and pepper and sauté until soft. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes.

6. Arrange the meatballs on a serving platter and cover with the sauce, then pass around and enjoy.
