This recipe is the best. I've made this 3 times for BBQ's and sporting events, and everybody wants me to bring "The Meatballs", it's a hit every time. I had to change up the cooking procedure...I cooked the meatballs in the oven for about 15 to 20 min. then I put the meatballs in a skillet to secure the bond of the meatball and to sear it a little, and then put them in a crockpot for about 3 hours, other than that, this recipe rocks!

i followed magnoliawench's advice and baked them ahead of time and froze them and then dumped the chili sauce and grape jelly in a crockpot and added the meatballs. I will definatley make these again.

So, one review gave one star because (as they write) they use frozen meatballs from Sam's Club. Haha! No wonder they hated this! Please, if you dont actually follow the recipe and then hate it, then dont review for Pete's sake! The meatball recipe was great, and I cannot imagine the frozen Sam's Club meatballs were any good. My story: made these exactly. Brought them to a cook out in a slow cooker to keep warm. They ended up on the counter in the house where no one ate them... that is not until they were discovered later on. I walked in to a crowd of people chowing down on the meatballs directly from the cooker then dipping in the sauce which I kept on the side. 6 pounds of meatballs (yes folks, 6 lbs!) were devoured in a matter of an hour. Although it was sadly forgotten at first, this dish became the hit of the party and mostly because of the meatball recipe. I now use this recipe as my standard meatball recipe for everything even if I am not making the sauce and instead use the meatballs for something else. So if you're going to make this? Please make sure to use the actual recipe, ok? Do not substitute pre-made meatballs which are generally terrible anyway. This is a great easy meatball recipe and is delicious! Also, I use butter instead of lard, and it works perfectly.

I used frozen meatballs from Sam's Club and made the sauce as written exactly. The meatballs were too sweet and the flavors didn't blend well. I used brand name Grape Jelly & brand named chili sauce. The Grape overpowered the chili sauce. Will not make again.

These meatballs are delicious! My mother used to make some very similar to these. I made them as the recipe stated and they were a big hit with friends and family.

I took these to a baby shower this weekend and everyone raved. I used a 2.5# bag of frozen meatballs and doubled the sauce recipe. It all fit in my crockpot. I did have quite a few leftovers. I probably could have just done the original recipe size and they would have all been gone.

I only used the sauce part of this recipe and opted for frozen meatballs. The sauce came out great. I added some Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper. My husband loved these!

Don't be scared - these really are great! My mom has always made these... but refuses to tell people the recipe until the next day; it sounds gross but it is AWESOME! Easiest thing to make for a party... just use frozen meatballs (saves so much work and doesn't really sacrifice the taste), cook the sauce briefly on the stovetop and then dump the meatballs & sauce in the crockpot. It will seem like there's not enough sauce, but there is. As it heats and you periodically stir, it will fully cover. Turn on the crockpot for about 4 hours and voila!

Cocktail meatballs are always great at parties. But, I made a few changes to this one. I used a pound and a half of ground beef and instead of frying the meatballs - way too much grease - I baked them at 400 for 20 minutes then added them to the sauce in the slow cooker on low. Very tasty and very simple.

I made a few changes...one, fresh breadcrumbs. I didn't have any milk, so left it out and the meatballs turned out good. Also, the shortening is not necessary. I added a few dashes of hot sauce the the meatball sauce. This was definitely not what I expected when I first read the ingredients, but ended up being very good.

Very simple to make and good flavor too. The only change I made was to brown the meatballs for 8-10 min and then bake at 350 for appx 15 min. Will make again.
