meatballs
 

I am in need of a( tried and true )recipe for meatballs anyone have any ideals?

A jar of apple jelly and same amount of ketchup in slow cooker yum yum
Sometimes I use low sugar apricot jam

What kind...Swedish or Italian? Ingredients way different .....

I take about 1 1/2 lbs. ground round, one egg, Chopped onion and green olives and stove Top Stuffing. Mix well form into balls and brown. Then add a little water to pan stir up bottom of any brownings and cover. Cook on low. I also use this for a meat loaf. Very good. For something different you can leave out the chopped olives and wrap a small sq. of cheese or a whole olive with the meat. You can also add these to spaghetti sauce or use pan drippings to make a gravy
Leftovers are delicious so make extra.

I'll pass on making the meatballs but this recipe has been around forever and is still my favorite "no fail". I use the crockpot do mine. I don't do anything except thaw them and dump them into the crockpot. No fuss, no muss.

Ingredients:
1 bag small frozen meatballs (40 to 50 count)
1 (16 oz) jar grape jelly
1 (8 oz) jar chili sauce


Directions:
Prepare the meatballs according to directions on the bag, drain when cooked. 

Mix the grape jelly and the chili sauce together in a large saucepan, and add meatballs. Cook on medium until hot. Put out toothpicks for serving. 

If using a crockpot, put all in crock and cook on low 6-8 hours. You can also make your own favorite homemade meatballs if you prefer.

This recipe is old as the hills but everyone still loves it!!

I make them homemade once in a while, when I do, I make a lot, and freeze half of them. Only problem, not really a recipe because I don't measure anything! I would say 2.25 lb pkg ground beef, 2 eggs, then I just open up the spice cabinet, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, parsley flakes, 1 envelope onion soup mix, worchestshire sauce, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, mix well, roll them out, then I put mine on a cooling rack on top of a pan so that the grease can run into the pan, bake about 30-45 minutes at 400. Oh, another thing that makes them good is to mix in about half pound or so of ground pork! OMG, now I'm really hungry!

Pat,This is the one I keep receiving and have saw on other sites, I think I will try this. Thanks to everyone I do like the made from scratch but no time to make enough for a wedding for over 300.

This is the recipe I use. No one will know the difference. I only do made from scratch for my husband & he can't tell the difference. For his family he tells me to do the easiest way possible.

I've used that recipe for about 50 years and everyone loves it without fail ... especially the guys. :D

I buy Italian President's Choice 60 count & use them either in spaghetti sauce or do a sweet & sour sauce. Haven't had anybody turn them down yet. Can't justify all the work for homemade when I can get these delicious meatballs & easy, peasy. My hubby & I really enjoy them & any guests too.
