1 ½ cups chili sauce (I use Heinz)
1 cup grape jelly
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 pound lean ground beef
1 egg, beaten lightly
3 tablespoons finely ground breadcrumbs (I like plain better than seasoned for this)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Stir together chili sauce, jelly and mustard then put in a crock pot set on high. Mix together remaining ingredients and form about 30 little meatballs. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake meatballs for about 20 minutes, then drain. Add meatballs to the crockpot, and gently stir to cover in the sauce. Turn down the temperature to low and let them simmer in there for at least 5 hours. They will get nice and tender and soak up all those flavors and saucy goodness.
Now let me say this to all you skeptics…these sound gross. The first time I heard about this recipe, it sounded disgusting and I never had intentions on making them…until someone brought them to work and I tried one. And then another one. And then another one just to be sure. These little suckers are addicting! Get some fancy toothpicks with the frillies on the ends and have yourself a party. They are particularly great for football game snacks. I don’t give a crap about football, but I’m very passionate about snacks.
