Recipe File: BBQ Grape Jelly Meatballs

I absolutely adore appetizers. In fact, I regularly make a meal of apps when eating at a restaurant. And I also secretly love family events or carry-ins which feature bbq meatballs, but I’d never even entertained the thought of making them at home. I was so happy when I came across this recipe on Pinterest-and I’ve made these at least three times in the past couple of months. They are perfect to eat by themselves, or these also make an awesome meatball sandwich.

This recipe is so simple-perfect for a Monday! If you prefer, you can make your own meatballs from scratch-but for the purposes of this post, let’s say you’re going to take the frozen meatball route.

Ingredients:

(2) 12 oz jars Heinz chili sauce

 (1) 32 oz jar grape jelly - (I usually use between 1/2 and 2/3 of the jar)

1 bag frozen meatballs (about 80 in a bag)

Directions:

Put chili sauce and jelly in a large pot, heat until jelly is melted and sauce is smooth, stirring often. Add frozen meatballs; heat until meatballs are thawed and then simmer for 3 hours. Enjoy!
