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.

SERVINGS: 10

CATEGORY: Main Dish

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 45 min. Bake: 30 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1/4 cup crushed seasoned stuffing
  • 1 envelope onion soup mix
  • 2-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • SAUCE:
  • 2 bottles (18 ounces each) barbecue sauce
  • 1 jar (12 ounces) apple jelly
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls. In a 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. Cover and bake at 325° for 30 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Yield: 72 meatballs. Use pretzel sticks instead of toothpicks for serving appetizer meatballs. They taste great and reduce waste and mess.
