Categories     Meatballs

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs ground beef (80-85% lean)
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
1 white medium onion, minced (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 Tbsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 cups ketchup or chili sauce
18 oz natural grape jelly

Steps:

  • Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and chili powder in a large bowl until well-combined.
  • Form the meat into 50 equally-sized balls, using a rounded teaspoonful for each.
  • Add oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat, or add to your slow cooker and turn on the SEAR setting. Once hot, lightly brown the meatballs in batches. Transfer to a large plate after they brown.
  • Add ketchup or chili sauce and jelly to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Pour about 2/3 cup of the sauce into the bottom of a Dutch oven or Crock-Pot insert, spreading to coat the bottom in an even layer. This can also be done on the SEAR setting in your slow cooker.
  • Add one-third of the meatballs to the bottom of the pan or insert. Top with another 2/3 cup of sauce. Add another third of the meatballs on top, followed by another 2/3 cup of sauce. Finish with the remaining meatballs and top with remaining sauce.
  • If you are using a Dutch oven, cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours, until sauce has thickened and meat is cooked through.
  • If you are using a slow cooker, set to low and cook for 2-3 hours, until sauce is very thick and beef is cooked through.
  • Serve immediately on a platter with toothpicks.

SWEET 'N SOUR SAUCE FOR MEATBALLS OR CHICKEN



Sweet 'n Sour Sauce for Meatballs or Chicken image

Sweet and tangy sauce for meatballs or chicken. I developed this recipe as a variation on my simple sweet and sour dipping sauce used in my Asian inspired recipe #336740 recipe. Still very simple to make but a little more sophisticated with the addition of brown sugar, pineapple and green pepper. I hope you enjoy it too!

Provided by Tinkerbell

Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 2 1/2 cups of sauce

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (I use Johnny's brand)
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, undrained (or chunks)
1/2 cup vinegar
2/3 cup water
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
1 small green pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan stir together both sugars, cornstarch and seasoning salt. Mix well.
  • Stir in pineapple, vinegar and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat just enough to keep it at a low boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in Worcestershire and cherry juice.
  • Add green pepper, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.
  • For Meatballs: Pour sauce over your favorite cooked meatballs in casserole dish or in a pan on the stove and heat through.
  • For Chicken: Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 13x9x2 inch baking dish sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes depending on thickness of chicken. Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center. Uncover the last 10 minutes of cooking.
