With the blizzard-like conditions we had around here most of the day, a hot meal sounds particularly cozy. Since I’m a little soup and stewed out, these sweet and spicy meatballs are just the ticket. Not to mention ridiculously easy to make!

Sweet and Spicy Meatballs

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds frozen meatballs (I used Italian style)
• 1 jar chili sauce (12 ounces)
• 1 jar grape jelly (16 ounces)

Directions:

1. Slightly heat meatballs over medium heat in a large saucepan or pot.
2. Whisk together grape jelly and chili sauce.
3. Add jelly/chili sauce to meatballs and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce to simmer and occasionally stir for 1-2 hours.
5. Serve over zoodles, with a side of vegetables, or just with a toothpick!

These meatballs are a great party appetizer! You can just leave them simmering in a crockpot with some toothpicks on the side. If you’re have a big party, I would definitely double the recipe as these barely last with two of us in the house!
