Ingredients

Servings
  • 12 ounces chili sauce
  • 10 ounces grape jelly
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 2/3 cup finely minced onion
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs

  • 2 teaspons Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening for frying the meatballs

Instructions

To make the meatballs:

  1. In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, bread crumbs, onion, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  2. Using a strong spatula or your hands (I like to wear latex gloves), mix well. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls (you should have around 48 total).

To fry the meatballs:

  1. Heat vegetable shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the meatballs in batches until browned on all sides and the meatballs are cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes per batch (an internal thermometer should read 165 degrees for 15 seconds). Add more shortening between batches if the skillet looks dry.

To bake the meatballs:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a rack on top. Arrange meatballs on rack and bake until browned with crispy edges, about 20 minutes (an internal thermometer should read 165 degrees for 15 seconds).

Notes

  • Sweet chili sauce or barbecue sauce may be substituted for regular chili sauce. The flavor will be a little different but still delicious!
