I found a package of meatballs in the freezer, and this was a great way to use them up. Really enjoyed the unique flavor of the sauce using pizza sauce, apple jelly and Italian seasoning. This came together quickly and went great with another AR dish 'Bee's Mac and Cheese Bake'. Would love to try this sauce with homemade meatballs - next time!

BETTER THAN MY MOTHER-IN-LAW'S! My husband requested meatball grinders for Superbowl sunday. Since I am not the best cook, he suggested I call his mom for her recipe- well,since I am too stubborn to do so. I tried this instead. Not only did he love it- he said it was better than mom used to make (of course I will not tell her that !) I bought 8 large fresh meatballs,cooked them in the ovenand tossed them in the sauce after simemring it for a while. It was awesome and they made great leftovers.

Oh my goodness! Didn't change a thing, and everyone loved it! My young girls loved just the meatballs. We will absolutely be having this again and again!

Not sure if it was just me or what but not a huge success. It was okay but the flavor was a little off for me. Maybe the sweet part didn't do it for me. I would also say not to use frozen meatballs. Homemade are so much better and worth the work.

This was very easy to make. And everyone enjoyed them. After reading all the reviews of it being to sweet I though of reducing the jelly but decided to make it normal. I got no negative comments and alot of thanks. But one thing I will agree on is there is alot of sauce. I would increase the meatballs to 2-1/2 lbs or cut out a can of sauce and maybe 3oz of jelly. I will def make this again

Pretty good. I made this in a slow cooker and the sauce was a little thin. Still yummy, tho.

Very yummy! However I added less apple jelly because of another review and it was perfect! Will make again!

This was good. I was scared from previous reviews saying that it was too sweet so I only used about 1.5 tbsn of the jelley and added crushed red pepper. Really good...thanks for the recipe.

I had some meatballs I'd previously frozen from another recipe on AR, "Meatball Nirvana". I halved the recipe. Having read the many reviews about it being too sweet , I decided to add the apple jelly to taste. I started with half a cup and ended up using 3/4 of a cup. I think the sweetness depends on the apple jelly you're using. I have also heard this works equally well with grape jelly. Do use frozen solid meatballs if you don't want them to break up as you stir, as mine did. Not a problem since they're being tossing onto some buns. Not spectacular but easy to toss together for a party or quick dinner. I might make it again but with some tweaks. Maybe grape jelly and other seasonings.
