Grape Jelly Meatballs

Meatballs

2 lb. ground beef
3 c. white bread crumb
1 pkg. dry onion soup
1 egg slightly beaten
1 tsp. dried parsley flakes

Mix all ingredients. Shape into balls and arrange in baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes. Turn meatballs every 20 minutes or so with tongs.

Grape Jelly Sauce

1/2 jar Chili Sauce
1 med. jar grape jelly

Heat jelly in microwave for about 1 minute or until it can be stirred. Add 1/2 jar of Chili Sauce and mix well.

Put meatballs in crockpot. Pour Jelly sauce over meatballs and cook on low in crock pot for a minimum of 2 hours before serving. What I do is make these the day before and mix the ingredients hot in a large bowl and then put in fridge. The next day I will take the bowl out and put it in the microwave to heat it up a little bit and then put in in a crock pot or electric roaster to warm up (usually about 3-4 hours) stirring occassionally.

If you aren't into making meatballs or want to use vegan balls Armour brand does make an excellent meatball that you can find in your grocers refrigerator section. All I do if I am pressed for time is heat those up in the microwave and then add the rest of the stuff and cook it it all in the crock pot for a couple of hours.

Hawaiian Meatballs

All of the same stuff above, but use Apricot Jelly and add a small can of chunked pineapple juice and all - those are good too!!!
