- 1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup of bread crumbs (dried)
- Seasoning to taste (you pick)
- Chili Sauce
- Grape jelly

This is so easy to make it's almost criminal.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

First, mix all of the above ingredients thoroughly. Get your hands dirty and dig in to make the meatballs. All you need to do is shape the meat mixture into little balls, about 1 and 1/2 inch around. Then, bake them for approximately 25 minutes.

Next, make the sauce.

Simply combine an equal amount of the chili sauce and the grape jelly. Then, heat the mixture in a large saucepan. At this point, add the baked meatballs, gently mixing everything together and then heat through.

Serve with toothpicks inserted into each meatball and surround them with the remaining sauce. You can serve them immediately or store for use later. If you decide to store the meatballs, just warm them up in a saucepan just before you serve them.

For an twist on the same theme, serve this meatball appetizer with heated pineapple chunks added to the sauce.

Enjoy!
