Appetizer Grape Jelly and Chili Sauce Meatballs

By jpaison

This is easy and always a big hit at my get togethers, it's great with mini meatballs or Lil Smokies, to make it ever more easier purchase ready made frozen cooked small meatballs or you can make your own and cook them first.

Ingredients

• 3 -5 lbs frozen cooked smallmeatballs or 3 -5 lbs Little Smokies sausages
• 1 (32 ounce) jar grape jelly
• 2 (12 ounce) jars chili sauce (I use Heinz Chili Sauce)
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

1 In a pot combine the grape jelly with the chili sauce; add in the meatballs and simmer for about 45 minutes uncovered or until the sauce has thickened.

2 If you are making my Parmesan meatball recipe use 2-1/2 to 3 pounds lean ground beef or use half beef and ground pork shape.

3 Shape into about 1-inch balls.

4 Place on a baking sheet.

5 Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. 6 Place in the prepared sauce.
