BBQ Meatballs

These are super good-sweet and savory and very easy to make. I love making meatballs for dinner-I prefer them over meatloaf and there are so many ways to make them, depending on the kind of flavor you want. These were a crowd pleaser! You could even keep these warm in a crock-pot and serve them as appetizers without the rice.

BBQ Meatballs

redhead recipes

3 pieces white bread, crusts removed

milk

1 1/2 lbs ground beef ( I used ground turkey)

1 small onion, finely diced

1 tsp fresh garlic, grated

1 tbsp salt

1 1/2 tsp pepper

1 tbsp dried parsley

1 egg

1 (12 oz) jar chili sauce (Homemade brand-it's the kind that comes in a roundish bottle)

1 (12oz) jar grape jelly

Tear bread into a few pieces and cover with milk. Combine meat and egg. Break bread into small pieces and combine with meat. Add other ingredients. Mix with hands until just combined. Don't over-mix! Roll into desired size balls. Bake on greased cookie sheet at 400* until almost done, 12-15 minutes. Combine chili sauce and jelly in saucepan to marry flavors. Add meatballs and warm. Serve over rice.

*Meatballs can be cooked and frozen (without the sauce)

*Meatballs can be used with spaghetti-just omit the sauce (obviously)
