Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 cups dry bread crumbs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 10 ounces chili sauce, the recipe specifies Heinz
  • 10 ounces grape jelly, the recipe specifies Kraft

Instructions
 

  • Combine the chili sauce and grape jelly in a saucepan and melt. Add the meatballs and simmer for 1/2 hour with the lid on and then 1/2 hour with the lid off.
  • If you are making fresh meatballs, brown them in a frying pan in hot oil.
  • Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer for 1/2 hour with the lid on and then 1/2 hour with the lid off.
  • Note: I find that if I cook the meatballs longer with the lid off, the sauce becomes thick and sticky, great for a party appetizer recipe.
