Ingredients

  • 6 pound bag beef cooked meatballs, about 140 (available at stores like Costco)
  • 12 oz. grape jelly
  • 12 ox. chili sauce
  • 1/2 C dried onion flakes
  • 3 to 5 worcestershire sauce
  • 2 dashes garlic powder
  • 2 t tabasco
  • 2 t ground pepper
  • 3 medium tomatoes, chopped, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Let meatballs thaw overnight if frozen. Cut all in half with kitchen scissors to double quantity. Place halved meatballs into large crockpot. Thoroughly mix remaining ingredients in large bowl.

Pour mixture over meatballs in crockpot. Sprinkle tomatoes on top if you like.

Turn crockpot to medium for 3 to 4 hours. If you don't have a crockpot, warm meatballs by themselves in covered casserole dish in oven for 20 minutes at 300 degrees. Stir mixture in saucepan on stove. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes allowing jelly to blend with sauce. Add sauce to meatballs and cook in oven for another 20 minutes at 250 degrees.
