Ingredients

  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 1 jar (12 Ounce Jar) Grape Jelly
  • 1 jar 12 Ounce Jar, Chili Sauce, Such As Heinz
  • 4 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning
  • FOR THE MEATBALLS:
  • 1 cup Bread Crumbs
  • 2 Tablespoons Dried Onion Flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • Kosher Salt And Ground White Pepper
  • ½ cups Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • ¾ pounds Lean Ground Beef
  • ½ pounds Lean Ground Pork
  • 1 whole Large Egg, Beaten
  • 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil

Preparation

In a bowl mix the grape jelly with the chili sauce and taco seasoning. Pour into a medium-sized slow cooker and turn heat on low.

Place all the ingredients for the meatballs (except the oil) in a large bowl and mix until combined. Start rolling the meatballs. I make mine small for this recipe so I would say a little smaller than a golf ball.

Heat a large non-stick skillet with the oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on each side. You won’t be cooking them all the way through, just searing the outside. Remove them from the skillet and set place in the slow cooker, gently mixing to coat them in sauce.

Put the lid on and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Serve with toothpicks.
