Original Recipe Yield 6 to 8 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 (12 ounce) bottles chile sauce
  • 1 cup grape jelly
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the milk and bread crumbs. Add ground beef, onion, egg, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and form into 1 inch balls.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine chili sauce, grape jelly and water; bring to a simmer. Gently drop the meatballs into the chili sauce mixture and simmer for about 1 hour. Occasionally skim off excess fat, as necessary.
  3. Stir in sour cream just before serving. Remove from heat before sour cream comes to a boil.
