This zesty meatball recipe is always a hit with any crowd. The basic, two-ingredient sauce can be switched up by simply combining Heinz chili sauce with any sweet spread such as peach jam, grape jelly, or mango chutney. And, for the ultimate shortcut, you can use prepared meatballs.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup soft, fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2/3 cup Heinz® Chili Sauce
- 2/3 cup red currant jelly
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Gently blend ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, milk, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly combined. Form into about 40 bite-sized meatballs.
Step 2
Place meatballs on a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet; bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
Step 3
Combine chili sauce and jelly in a saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until jelly dissolves, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add cooked meatballs to sauce; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Tips
Twist 1: For a meat variation, use ground turkey or pork.
