One of my FAVORITE party appetizers involves a VERY complicated family recipe. I am pretty sure it is supposed to be a family secret, but I will share it with you because I love you.
You start by going here:

You could make your own, but buying theirs is MUCH easier! And it is part of the family recipe.
Once you have your meatballs you put about 2 lbs of them in here:

Add the entire bottle of this:

a cup of this:

and let them cook until the meatballs aren't frozen anymore.
Best meatball in the world! I promise!
This super secret family recipe can also be found on the Heinz site here. But instead of grape jelly, they use a can of this:

I am going to have to give that a try. But not this Sunday. Because I already bought the grape jelly!

The meatballs sound really good. I have to work tomorrow so no party for me. :o(
We always do the grape jelly and spicy mustard one. I'm going to remember to try and do this one someday.
Really looking forward to more recipe ideas!
And you have a button! I am stealing it! Yaeeeee! :)
I love those type meatballs but never heard of the cranberry sauce...but I will have to try that one weekend.
This recipe is the best. I love it and it is so easy. I use the grape jelly I think I will be maikng these on Sunday.
Ha! I'm doing these for Cole's birthday party next weekend. Those meatballs also make excellent meatball subs with a 4 cheese jarred tomato sauce and some mozza on top.

Ooh, I had these at an honest to goodness cocktail reception in Alabama- waiters in tuxes, soft music, beaded dresses, the works! They were so good...I was SHOCKED when my great-aunt told me what was in the sauce!
I love reading your blog for all these yummy favs and now I have a question. I am in need of a punch recipe for a baby shower. Do you have any ideas for me?
You can email me at one.impulsive.addict@gmail.com
Thank you! I can't wait to try these meatballs!
Oh do I have a punch recipe for you!!!
My mom made these for my nephew's birthday party and they rocked everyone's socks!! I'm trying to talk her into making them again really soon.
