These Spicy Sweet Meatball Delights are a perfect blend of savory and sweet, making them a hit for any dinner table. The meatballs are juicy and flavorful, simmered in a deliciously tangy sauce.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons parsley
1/2 cup onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup chili sauce
1/2 cup grape jelly
Method
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, and milk, stirring until the mixture is uniform. Add in ground black pepper, chopped parsley, finely diced onion, salt, a beaten egg, and Worcestershire sauce, mixing well.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, roughly one inch in diameter. In a large skillet, heat shortening over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides until they achieve a golden color.
In a separate saucepan, mix together chili sauce and grape jelly. Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently until the jelly melts and the sauce is well blended.
Pour the sweet and spicy sauce over the browned meatballs in the skillet, allowing them to simmer for 30 minutes. This will ensure they are fully cooked and absorb all the delicious flavors.
