Cocktail Meatballs


These are so easy to make ahead of time and have on hand for your next get together. Such as a superbowl party???

I usually double or triple the meatball recipe and freeze the meatballs in ziploc bags. That way I can have them ready for the next use. These meatballs can be used for this recipe, or use them with spaghetti, make a brown gravy and serve over egg noodles, or just eat them plain. Enjoy!

My idea of a great meatball is called Sam's Club...jazzed up of course!!! This makes me sound like such a terrible cook huh? Good thing I am a baking blogger:-) The jelly in this totally has me intrigued to try it...maybe a meatball themed dinner is in order

Do you use the really hot chili sauce or the sweet chili sauce. I want to make these but wonder if they will be too hot for my family.


Thanks,
Karen

@anonymous- I use just plain chili sauce (more sweet, it's not spicy)
