Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 pound ground round beef
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2/3 cup finely minced onion
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening for frying the meatballs
Sauce
- 10 ounces grape jelly
- 12 ounces chili sauce
Instructions
To make the meatballs:
-
In a large bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, onion, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
-
Using a strong spatula or your hands (I like to wear latex gloves), mix well. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls (you should have around 48 total).
To sauce the meatballs in a slow cooker:
-
Transfer browned meatballs to the crockpot. Add grape jelly and chili sauce. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 hours on HIGH or 4 to 6 hours on LOW, until the sauce is hot. Serve directly from the crockpot with a serving spoon or toothpicks, or transfer to a serving dish.
