Holiday Meatballs
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This is a quick and easy meatball recipe that will be great for any party - holiday, tailgate, game night... so many options. I used apple jelly and apple juice. I loved the flavors of the sweet apple combined with tangy chili sauce. Between the chili sauce and few dashes of hot sauce, this gives the sauce a little spice but not overpowering. The whole crew couldn't get enough of these meatballs. I can't wait to try the orange option. Delish!

How to Make Holiday Meatballs
- Combine chili sauce, preferred jam, juice, and hot sauce in large slow cooker. There will be lumps, but not to worry they will disappear as the sauce cooks.
- Add frozen meatballs to slow cooker. Cover.
- Cook on low for 6 hours. Stir occasionally. Serve.
- I sometimes increase the hot sauce, depending on the crowd.
Can also be made in the oven. Cook at 325 for 90 minutes.
