vSWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS
2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 env. onion soup mix
1 egg
¼ cup dried bread crumbs
1 cup grape jelly ( jam not jello)
1 cup catsup
1 dash salt and pepper
Mix ground beef, soup mix, salt and pepper, egg and breadcrumbs together. Form into tiny meatballs (this takes awhile). Brown in a frying pan in batches, drain on paper towel, then place in a large pot. In a glass bowl, combine catsup and grape jelly, micro to melt, stirring until well combined. Pour sauce over meatballs and simmer 1 hour, careful not to burn them. Serve in a casserole dish or chaffing dish, with toothpicks beside for guest to use to spear them. You can add 1 can drained pineapple chunks to extend.
This freezes well, so can be made ahead and reheated in the oven. Makes about 100 meatballs.
Yield: About 100 tiny meatballs
this works well in a crock pot too! I have made this for parties and it was well received by all. I usually don't tell them about the grape jelly.
