Sweet and Spicy Potluck Meatballs

Ben asked for my potluck meatball recipe.

 

Ingredients:

• 14 oz of ketchup (store brand works fine)
• 16 oz grape jelly (store brand works fine)
• ~ 3 pounds meatballs (use about 1/2 large bag from Costco)
• 1 1/2  teaspoons chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• A few dashes Tabasco sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Heat ketchup & jelly in a large pot, melting jelly.  
3. Stir in chili powder & garlic.  
4. Toss in a few dashes Tabasco sauce.  
5.  Place about 3 pounds pre-cooked frozen meatballs in a large baking dish (9 x 13 pan)
6. Pour sauce over meatballs (cover pan with foil)
7. Bake until warm (stir a couple of times to cover all meatballs with sauce)

Depending on the crowd, serve with sliced small dinner rolls. (These are popular with rugby players.)

Carole's Notes:

You can also defrost the meatballs some, and place in a crock pot with the sauce for a couple of hours on high. Stir occasionally.
