Need a quick appetizer? I've got you covered!
I've been a bit nostalgic lately and started watching some YouTube videos of Christmases past and the old-time recipes that were so popular in the 60's and 70's. I had totally forgotten about these little meatballs, and it surprised me a little when I realized that, because I usually never forget delicious food.
My family never made these ourselves because the only meatballs that came out of our Italian kitchens were covered in sauce and "on top of spaghetti"! Once you had my mom's homemade meatballs, others were just unacceptable...even if they weren't meant to be Italian. LOL.
But, times are different now and people look for easy, yet yummy, recipes that they can fix and forget about it! This recipe is just that and if memory serves right, these little gems were VERY yummy, indeed!
Ingredients:
32 oz. frozen, fully cooked meatballs
12 oz. bottle barbecue sauce (Sweet Baby Ray's) or chili sauce
10 oz. grape jelly or jellied cranberry sauce
1/2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Instructions:
In a slow cooker, combine the barbecue sauce, grape jelly OR cranberry sauce and Worcestershire sauce; whisk until smooth and combined.
Add in the meatballs and toss until all are coated.
Place the lid back on the crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours (or high for 2 hours) stirring occasionally toward the end.
Turn the slow cooker to warm and enjoy!
Yields: 10 servings/5 meatballs each
A Tip from Grammy:
-You can serve in a tray with toothpicks, but the crockpot will keep them warm.
-Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
-Warm them in the microwave in 30-second intervals or use a slow cooker on the “low” setting, stirring occasionally, to gradually heat them up for a gathering.
-These are great for game day or anytime you've got a crowd gathering.
Be encouraged!
"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and be in constant prayer." -Romans 12:12
