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 Famous Italian Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meatballs see bottom of recipe for baking times --- this is great to take to a potluck

50 meatballs (change servings and units)

I wasn't a fan of these. They came out way too sweet for my tastes.

    I made this using Chili Sauce recipe 52689. Turned out really good, and best of all, it was quick and easy. I'll be maing this again for sure. Thanks for posting.

    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.
