Ingredients
Scale
- 32 oz frozen fully cooked beef meatballs
- 1 cup Smuckers grape jelly
- 1½ cups Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange frozen beef meatballs in a single layer in a large baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes to warm them through.
- While meatballs warm, prepare the glaze. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine grape jelly, barbecue sauce, and chili garlic sauce. Stir constantly until jelly is melted and sauce is smooth.
- Remove warmed meatballs from the oven. Pour the prepared sweet and spicy glaze evenly over the meatballs, ensuring each is coated. Gently stir to coat.
- Return the baking dish to the oven, reducing the temperature to 325°F (160°C). Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and caramelizes.
- Remove from oven and let the meatballs rest for 5-10 minutes. Chop fresh parsley or chives for garnish. Sprinkle generously over the meatballs before serving.
