'Main Meal' Appetizer

It's been a busy winter! Gone are the days of lazy winter nights in front of the TV and playing games with our girls. They have been replaced with soccer and baton practices, church activities, and fifth and eighth grade homework. Now more than ever I need quick, but healthy recipes. This is one of our favorites. It's a familiar appetizer gone 'main meal'. Sweet and Sour Meatballs are great spooned over egg noodles or mashed potatoes and served up with a vegetable on the side.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs


1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1 cup soft breadcrumbs
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tbsp. freshly minced onion
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. parsley
dash pepper
olive oil
1 bottle of Heinz Chili Sauce
1/2 to 3/4 cup of grape jelly

Combine the first 9 ingredients. Form into meatballs. Coat large skillet with 1-2 tbsp of olive oil. Brown lightly.
Pour chili sauce and grape jelly over the meatballs and simmer until jelly melts into the sauce.
