Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet tray with foil, set aside.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl, stir in the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
  • Add the meat and mix to combine, I like to do this by hand.
  • Take 1 & ½ tablespoons of the meat mixture (I like to use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop for this) and roll it into a ball.
  • Place it on the sheet tray, make sure they are not touching.
  • Repeat with the remaining meat. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
  • Add the meatballs to the slow cooker, drain off any excess fat.
  • Add the grape jelly and chili sauce to the slow cooker and stir everything until coated. If the grape jelly doesn’t mix in all the way that’s okay.
  • Slow cook for 2-3 hours on high or 4-5 hours on low, stirring every 30 minutes or so to make sure the sauce doesn’t burn.
  • They are ready when the sauce is thickened, you can set it on warm for up to three hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Garnish with parsley, optional.
