Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat the foil with cooking spray.
  2. Place the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl. Stir until thoroughly combined.
  3. Shape the meat mixture into 1 inch meatballs and place the meatballs on the prepared pan.
  4. Broil for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the sauce.
  6. Melt the grape jelly by microwaving it for 30 second increments or melting it in a saucepan over medium heat.
  7. After the jelly has melted, whisk in the chili sauce.
  8. Coat a slow cooker with cooking spray. Add the meatballs, then pour the sauce over the top. Toss to coat.
  9. Cook for 3 hours on low. Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.

Notes

  • You can make your meatballs as big or as small as you like. I typically go for meatballs that are about 1 inch in diameter.
  • I typically make these meatballs with 90% lean ground beef, as it is flavorful but not overly greasy.
