This is one of the easiest, tastiest recipes we’ve ever tried. Don’t be put off by the ingredients for the sauce. They really do go well together!
Meatballs:
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. sausage
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs (for added flavor we use crushed croutons)
Combine meat, egg, and bread crumbs. Form into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place in an oven proof pan. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes. We actually place ours on a metal cooling rack that fits in our 15×17 inch pan so the meatballs aren’t dripping in grease.
Sauce:
1 12 oz.bottle chili sauce
1 18 oz jar grape jelly
Empty both bottles into a saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until jelly is dissolved. Add cooked meatballs. Simmer in sauce for 10 minutes. Serves 8-10.

lol, that was my ward potluck classic. 🙂
I made these for the first time at a High Adventure Scout Camp. Thought the head cook was out of her mind . . I was WRONG!! They are great!!
I have always made them from just ground beef, I have to try the sausage combo, sausage makes everything better!!
Wow! Grape jelly!!! 🙂
I’ve used this recipe for years! Had it at our daughter’s wedding, even.
yum!!! I always love eating at your house 🙂
Someone brought me these after I had my second baby. They were so yummy! I asked for the recipe and then I have never made them (eight years later)!
