Tired of paying for frozen meatballs to throw into a crockpot for a get together? So was I when I got to the grocery store and the cheap frozen meatballs were sold out…The only ones left were almost $10.00 a bag for about 40 meatballs!

I thought to myself ” I could make these..”….So here is my recipe which yields about 106 meatballs for much less and a much better taste.

The sauce I use is the standard grape jelly/ chile sauce recipe. I think it is a perfect compliment. These are a great ‘make ahead’ item as they freeze well and you can make as many as you need for the holidays… Enjoy!
(This recipe is designed to be easy to cut in half or make more….I always make more and freeze for when they are needed!) — posted by jennyluvscooking
