Since first taking these meatballs to various social events a few years ago, I've shared the recipe many times. Sweet apple jelly provides a nice contrast to the tangy barbecue sauce. - Kay Townsend, Obion, Tennessee.
Ingredients:
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup crushed seasoned stuffing
1 envelope onion soup mix
2-1/2 pounds ground beef
sauce:
2 bottles (18 ounces each) barbecue sauce
1 jar (12 ounces) apple jelly
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls.
2. In a large skillet, brown the meatballs; drain. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. baking dish. In a large saucepan, combine the sauce ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 10 minutes. Pour over meatballs.
3. Cover and bake at 325° for 30 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Yield: 72 meatballs.
