Ingredients

MEATBALLS***

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup (100 g) grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup (122.5 g) milk
  • ½ cup (54 g) fine dry breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about ½ cup)

SAUCE

  • 1 ¼ cups (12 ounces) grape jelly
  • 1 ¼ cups (12 ounces) chili sauce

Instructions

MEATBALLS

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, beaten egg, cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix together until just combined.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion.
  • Add milk mixture to the meat mixture being careful not to overwork ingredients.
  • Form into desired size meatballs, greasing hands before starting to keep the meat from sticking, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Place in preheated oven and roast until the outsides are browned and they read 165°F on a meat thermometer (about 25 minutes).

SAUCE

  • Place the cooked meatballs, grape jelly, and chili sauce in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 3 hours. Serve warm.
