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 (change servings and units)

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.

Wanted to make an appetizer that my 3-1/2 year old twin granddaughters would like as they LOVE meatballs of any kind. As it turned out everyone loved these, including my son's in-laws from Norway. I made them in advance and threw them in a crockpot to keep warm and they were DELICIOUS! Left out the cayene for the whimpy taste buds but would love to try it spicier in the near future!

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.
