Apple Meatballs

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

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. Use pretzel sticks instead of toothpicks for serving appetizer meatballs.
They taste great and reduce waste and mess.

Yield: 72 meatballs.
