Classic Cocktail Meatballs
Prep:20m
Ready in:36m
Serving:50 meatballs

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 (6 ounce) package STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Chicken
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar grape jelly
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle chili sauce

Cooking Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Mix meat, stuffing mix, water and eggs until blended. Shape into 50 (1-1/2-inch) meatballs; place in 2 foil-lined 15x10x1-inch pans sprayed with cooking spray.
  3. Bake 16 min. or until done (160 degrees F). Meanwhile, bring jelly and chili sauce to boil in large saucepan on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add meatballs to sauce; stir to evenly coat.
Meatballs in sauce can also be served in a slow cooker set to warm; If you don't have 2 (15x10x1-inch) pans, use any other shallow baking pans instead. Just make sure the meatballs are spread into a single layer in each pan; Loosely pack cooled cooked meatballs in freezer-weight resealable plastic bags. Lay bags flat in freezer so meatballs will freeze individually. Store in freezer up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator several hours or overnight before cooking with the sauce until heated through, stirring frequently.
