Sweet Meatball Appetizer – Are you ready for football!?

Kathy Lesser, Chicago

This is Kathy’s late husband’s favorite recipe!

 

2 lbs. ground beef

2 eggs

½ t salt

¼ t pepper

1oz BBQ sauce (plain is the best one for this recipe)

2 T grape jelly

½ c brown sugar

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 T onion, chopped

½ t Tabasco sauce

 

Thoroughly mix the ground beef, eggs, salt, and pepper. Set aside. In a large pot combine all the other ingredients. Roll beef mixture into one-inch balls and drop into sauce, bring to a boil. Turn down and simmer for 40 minutes, until done. Makes about 45-50 meatballs. Enjoy!
