Recipe - Barbeque Meatballs

Hello,

This is a recipe I remember from parties when I was growing up. It is not the most healthy thing out there, but I have made it from time to time when we were going to parties where we needed to have some finger or toothpick sized items so that Katie's plate would look similar to everyone else's.

Barbeque Meatballs

1 lb ground meat (I usually use close to 2 lbs.)
1 8-12 oz jar of organic grape jam
1 12 oz jar Heinz Chili Sauce

To make the meatballs a bit more tender:
use fattier meat 80/20

Add bread crumbs before you make the meatballs:
Use a food processor to make tiny bread crumbs from Food for Life Brown Rice Bread
Crush a sandwhich bag full of Cascadian Farms Rice Crunch Cereal

In a slow cooker, set on high, combine the grape jam and chili sauce. Heat until the jam is melted. In the meantime, roll the hamburger meat (or the hamburger meat and crumbs) into balls and place in the crockpot. Lower the heat to Low and cook for about 4-5 hours.
