How to Make Grilled Cajun Cheddar Meatballs
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Chop the onion and scallions. Mince the garlic.
- Remove casings from sausages and cut into chunks. Chop finely in a food processor.
- Prepare the remoulade: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chopped scallions, 3 cloves minced garlic, lemon juice, mustard, parsley, horseradish sauce, and chili sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic for 3 minutes, until translucent.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Add breadcrumbs, cheddar cheese, sautéed onion mixture, chopped sausage, ground beef, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the bowl. Mix well.
- Shape the mixture into 8-12 sausage-shaped meatballs.
- Insert a metal skewer (or soaked bamboo skewer) through the center of each meatball.
- Grill meatballs for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Turn gently with tongs.
- Serve immediately with the chilled remoulade sauce.
