I know, I know… the name of these sounds totally weird. But trust me when I tell you that even though you wouldn’t usually think of putting these ingredients together, you MUST TRY them. Seriously, not only are these completely simple to make (4 ingredients? Come on!), but they will knock your socks off with flavor. The meatballs become so tender as they cook in the sauce, and the taste that the jelly and chili sauce brings together is savory and delicious. Meatballs make such a great appetizer for a party, but they can be your main entree at home. I like to add them to some rice or even a baked potato! My son loves to make them into a meatball sandwich! These meatballs not only are simple in their ingredients, but they take about 5 minutes to put together, and then you have to set them in the crockpot and forget about them!
