      I have been making these for years. My Aunt gave me the Recipe. Always a big hit at parties. This is an appetizer not an man meat dish. I don't add the pepper and It's very good. I use Armour meatballs found in the frozen meat section of your grocery store. 32 oz jar of Grape Jelly or any jelly really will do.. some use cranberry sauce. And two jars of chili sauce to one 5 pound bag of meatballs is perfect. Will make about 160 meatballs.

      I used this sauce to make "worms" for Halloween... slice regular hot dogs length-wise into 4 slices and make tiny cuts sideways along each piece. When you boil them, they will curl up and look like worms!

      Perfect! It was just what I was looking for. I used a 3 lb bag of meatballs and halved the jelly & chili sauce. Everyone loved them! Yummm!

      These were really good, for the first couple, but too sweet after about 4 or 5 of them. Maybe I'll use less jelly next time.

      Oh, Oh, Oh, so good! We used to make these years ago around the holidays to snack on during gift wrapping parties, New Years Eve, and for Super Bowl parties. But sadly, I'd forgotten the ingredients. Thanks for bringing back an old favorite!

      Love this recipe!!!! My friends/family all looked at me funny when I told them the ingredients but it was a winner at our holiday gatherings. I followed the recipe exactly and used a mixture of meatballs and sausages.

      My aunt does a version of this recipe with currant jelly and ketchup, which I will try sometime, because this one is great! I did use a couple teaspoons of cornstarch to thicken the sauce at the end, and I served this as supper, not an appetizer... Nobody complained!

      These were ok, but a little cloyingly sweet for my taste. Perhaps if some additional spice were put in to balance the grape jelly taste.

      By far the BEST meatballs ever! I leave out the cayenne pepper...they always disappear on game day get-togethers!

      These were very good. I made them in the crockpot and the longer they cooked, the better the sauce got. The sauce really didn't stick to the meatballs very well. I used Kittencal's Italian Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meatballs for the meatballs and they were very good. This is a tad on the sweet side for us. I added about 2 tsp of red pepper flakes to the sauce to spice it up some. Thanks Kitz :)

      Wanted to make an appetizer that my 3-1/2 year old twin granddaughters would like as they LOVE meatballs of any kind. As it turned out everyone loved these, including my son's in-laws from Norway. I made them in advance and threw them in a crockpot to keep warm and they were DELICIOUS! Left out the cayene for the whimpy taste buds but would love to try it spicier in the near future!

      I'm not giving any stars for this recipe because I noticed just how much jelly and how much brown sugar was in the recipe for chili sauce #52689 and I altered it to suit us. That being said, I'm hoping that people like us, that don't desire the sooo sweet taste, will take a suggestion when they see that I gave no stars. I added bbq sauce, cut back the jelly and added more cayenne. I don't know the quantity...it was add a bit, taste, add a bit, taste until I reached my own personal preference... which was a bit of sweetness, a bit of tanginess, and that afterburn of cayenne. I made Kittencal's Italian Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meatballs (which are wonderful) along with Lil Smokies and they are great. If I were a fan of such sweetness.....5 stars all the way.

      I needed a quick easy dinner and we just loved this. To make it more meal-like I served it over white rice- then it's just like good ol' fashioned comfort food!

      I don't understand what everyone loves about these. I followed the recipe exactly and they were just OK. They were only even OK b/c I used kittencal's recipe for the meatballs and those came out delicious. I've tried a variation on this that I like a lot; it involves using apricot preserves and some mustard. I just didn't care for this combo.

      FAB! It was delicious and had a bit of a 'retro' feel to it! I served them in a bowl with toothpicks...It could not be easier to prepare..45 mins on the stove and then a couple of hours on low in the crockpot.
      Thanks!

      Delicious !! Made this today for a small crowd of co-workers.. Everyone asked for the recipe. and it was requested that I bring this dish to a Luncheon in 2 weeks... So simple and so delicious... I made one small addition, half jar of fresh mild salsa dip and a tiny bit more cayannne pepper .... gave it a liitle mild bite ....definately will make over and over.
