Ingredients: (yields 8 servings)

• 2 pounds lean ground beef

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 12 ounce bottle chili sauce

• 1 1/2 cups grape jelly

Instructions:

1. Preheat the broiler. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat the foil with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Place the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, and spices in a large bowl. Stir until thoroughly combined. (Tip - Sometimes easiest to use your hands!)

3. Shape the meat mixture into 1 inch meatballs and place the meatballs on the prepared pan.

4. Broil for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

5. While the meatballs are cooking, prepare the sauce.

7. After the jelly has melted, whisk in the chili sauce.

8. Coat a slow cooker with cooking spray. Add the meatballs, then pour the sauce over the top. Toss to coat.
