I followed the recipe to the letter and it was perfect. Its a very simple recipe and doesn't take a lot of effort. It tasted just like the cocktail meatballs my grandmother use to make. (We lost her recipe. ) The meatballs where the first thing to go at the party, everyone loved them.

We love these meatballs!!! I made these for snacking during the football games today!! I used a little bit less of the grape jelly and the hoisin sauce. It worked out perfectly for our tastes!! I already had a batch of my meatball mixture in the freezer, so that made these so quick and easy to make today. Thanks for sharing Lainey. Made for potluck tag.
