• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 3 hours 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef (I use 90% lean)

2 eggs

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup onion (finely diced)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

12 ounce bottle chili sauce

1 1/2 cups grape jelly

2 tablespoons parsley

cooking spray

Directions

Preheat the broiler. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat the foil with cooking spray.

Place the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl. Stir until thoroughly combined.

Shape the meat mixture into 1 inch meatballs and place the meatballs on the prepared pan.

Broil for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the sauce.

Melt the grape jelly by microwaving it for 30 second increments or melting it in a saucepan over medium heat.

After the jelly has melted, whisk in the chili sauce.

Coat a slow cooker with cooking spray. Add the meatballs, then pour the sauce over the top. Toss to coat.

Cook for 3 hours on low. Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
