Ingredients
For the meatballs
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons onion finely minced or grated
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- cooking spray
For the sauce
- 12 ounce bottle chili sauce such as Heinz brand
- 1 1/2 cups grape jelly
Instructions
- Preheat the oven broiler. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat the foil with cooking spray.
- Place the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Shape the meat mixture into 1 inch meatballs and place the meatballs in a single layer on the sheet pan.
- Broil for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the sauce.
- Melt the grape jelly. You can do this by microwaving it in 30 second increments or melting it in a saucepan over medium heat.
- After the jelly has melted, whisk in the chili sauce.
- Coat a 4 quart or larger slow cooker with cooking spray. Add the meatballs, then pour the sauce over the top. Toss gently to combine.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook for 3 hours on low. Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
Notes
- I typically use 90% lean ground beef.
- Use a tablespoon measuring spoon or a small cookie scoop to make similar sized meatballs.
- I prefer to use homemade meatballs; however, you can use 2 pounds of frozen meatballs. You don't need to thaw the meatballs, simply add them to the crockpot from frozen.
