Absolute Best Holiday Meatballs, Crock Pot (Or Not)

"Our take on the traditional grape jelly meatballs. We have tried lots of this kind of recipe, and find we like this one best. It is a "must have" for any holiday party or football get together. If I don't serve this, there will be no place I can hide...."

  1. This year we decided to do a non traditional Christmas dinner...we had a Finger Food and Appetizer fest. I made your meatballs to help round out the meal. The only change I made was I doubled the hot chili sauce fro a bit more of a bite. Will definitely keep this recipe in my cook book for future use.
     
  2. LOVED THEM! I made these for our Christmas Eve buffet and they were a huge hit. I misread the recipe and added 1 1/2 tablespoons of onion flakes rather than teaspoons, but I think that made them even better. I will definitely be making these again. Thanks for posting Sue, please see my rating system.

Tweaks

  1. I add a T Dijon mustard, red pepper flakes and a bit of Worcester sauce. Always a hit no matter how it’s tweaked or not. Thanks for the recipe.
