These were pretty good. I didn't use the salt and baked the meatballs on a tray sprayed with canola oil. I froze them and then threw them in with the sauce a little while before the party. People didnt eat a lot of them. One person asked what the sauce was. They guessed bbq. I added some onion soup mix to the meatballs. They were excellent. Wish i would have kept more of them out of the sauce for other recipes! I froze the left over cocktail meatballs. We will see how they come out after reheating.

Made exactly as indicated. Wouldn't change a thing. Delicious. You'd never guess grape jelly.

Love this recipe, different but great. It is a hit with my 9 year old autistic son and husband. I made it many times. I brought it to parties and it was a hit. Highly recommend, because simple and it could be your parties next hit.

Great recipe, I made the following changes - used 1/2 lb. ground pork + 1/2 lb. ground beef because that's what I had on hand. I made my own fresh bread crumbs. Also, I experimented by cooking half the meatballs in a skillet and baking the other half in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 and then browning those for 2 minutes in the skillet after they had finished cooking. The baked ones turned out better and were less messy. In any case the sauce is crazydelicious, I'm going to start freezing meatballs and keeping grape jelly and chili sauce on hand for cocktail meatball craving emergencies.

I made the meatballs, set them aside and then made the sauce. Luckily I waited too taste the sauce before I put the meatballs in, it was not to my liking at all. Just not my taste I guess. I used another sauce recipe. The meatballs were great though.

These are OUTSTANDING meatballs, but I cannot bear the sauce. I use them in tomato sauce, and make heros out of them, or I serve them over spaghetti. They freeze very very well after cooking, and if you freeze them individually, it's easy to pull out just 5 or 6 for a quick dinner, heated up in tomato sauce. Honestly, they're terrific! When I use this recipe to make meatloaf instead of the meatballs, I use oatmeal instead of the breadcrumbs, and cook it with 2 slices of bacon on top - 350 degrees for 1 hour.

I doubled the recipe and used one pound ground sirloin and one pound of italian sausage. They were so good. My husband even ate them without the sauce.

I made these meatballs for a fight party and they were not bad, but not good enough to make again. I would rate them as just average. The sauce is missing a couple of spices to add more flavor.

These were a fun retro dish that I made for my daughter's birthday party. All the grown-ups liked them and so did I. I baked the meatballs instead of frying just for health reasons. They were very tasty. Would make again.

I have made this many times and it is a big hit each time. I double the recipe everytime because there are never enough. I bake them in the oven for approx. 30+/- minutes at 325. I then slowly simmer in sauce for an hour or so before gathering. You really cannot mess these up.

I just want to say this is the easiest and always a hit....I have been making this weird sounding recipe for years. I used to cater weddings and this was always a crowd pleaser.

Yum!!! These are soo good! I used frozen meatballs and cooked in oven. After they were finished I put in slow cooker with sauce and added 1 onion and 3 cloves of garlic. My 2 year old loved these and so did my husband. These are soo good! We will be making these again for sure! Enjoy!

I loved this recipe and it was the first time I have ever made meatballs. Even my husband, who doesn't like meatballs, really liked these. Like many other reviewers have said, I didn't fry them but instead baked them in the oven for about 25 minutes. I also added them to my slow cooker after they were baked and left them in there with the sauces on low for a few hours.

When I made these meatballs, I wasn't as impressed as I had hoped to be. But after refrigerating and serving the next day, they were better. My friends really complimented me on these and have asked for them again.

Super easy (because I used Italian meatballs from Sam's Club)! Kids loved them. Adults loved them (especially the guys!) and there was much whining when they were all gone. Plus I put meatballs and sauce into crockpot and just left to simmer for a few hours and they were ready by party time. What could be easier?
