Appetizer Grape Jelly and Chili Sauce Meatballs or Lil Smokies
By: KITTENCAL
Oct 15, 2003
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, I use Kittencal's Italian Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meatballs see bottom of recipe for baking times --- this is great to take to a potluck 
50 meatballs
Ingredients
- 3-5 lbs frozen cooked small meatballs or 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)
Directions
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.

You cannot go wrong with this recipe. It's been a family favorite for years and is a big hit at potlucks, company parties, etc. Just throw the ingredients into the crock pot and let her simmer. I use frozen turkey meatballs to make things even easier — they have a softer texture than beef.

A tried and true recipe! Always a hit at the party. I add a little Worchestershire sauce and ginger then thicken it by mixing some of the sauce with cornstarch, that way the sauce stays with the meatball.
