Game Day Meatballs
- 1- 1/2 pound Lean Ground Beef
- 1 pound Ground Turkey
- 1 cup Plain Breadcrumbs
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley
- 1/2 cups Finely Minced Onion (fresh)
- 1/4 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground White Pepper
- 1 whole Egg, Beaten
- 12 ounces, fluid Heinz Bottled Chili Sauce
- 18 ounces, fluid Grape Jelly
- 13 cups Ketchup
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
- 3/4 teaspoons Ground Mustard
- Spray the inside of a slow-cooker crock with olive oil; set aside.
- For the meatballs:
- Place the ground meats, breadcrumbs, parsley, minced onion, garlic powder, white pepper, and the beaten egg in a large bowl.
- Knead with clean hands until ingredients are well combined.
- Use a small scoop or spoon to portion meat into heaping tablespoons of meat mixture.
- Roll portions between your hands to form a ball o meat.
- Place the formed meatball into the prepared crock, and continue with the rest until all of the meat mixture has been used.
- (I usually end up with about 5 dozen meatballs.)
- For the sauce:
- In a medium bowl, whisk the chili sauce, grape jelly, ketchup, lemon juice, and ground mustard until combined.
- Pour sauce over meatballs in the crock.
- Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or until meatballs are cooked through.
- Serve meatballs alone as an appetizer or over hot cooked egg noodles as a meal.
- Note: Meatballs can be made 1 day ahead, if youd like to skim the fat off the top before serving.
- Simply cook meatballs, allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, skim the fat off the top of the meatball mixture, and reheat in the slow-cooker on low heat for 2-3 hours, or until heated through.
