Simple meatballs with an unusual chili sauce/grape jelly coating. Quite a combination of tastes and textures. Note: After cooking, I like to keep the meatballs warm in a slow cooker until ready to serve.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 0.5 cups dried bread crumbs
  • 0.33 cups chopped onion
  • 0.25 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.13 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 0.25 cups shortening
  • 12 fluids ounces tomato-based chili sauce
  • 1.25 cups grape jelly

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, milk, egg, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and ground black pepper. Mix together, and shape into meatballs.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat shortening over medium heat. Add meatballs, and cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from skillet, and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Add chili sauce and jelly to skillet; heat, stirring, until jelly is melted. Return meatballs to skillet, and stir until coated. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
