Broil for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
05 -
While the meatballs are cooking, melt the grape jelly by microwaving it for 30 second increments or melting it in a saucepan over medium heat.
06 -
After the jelly has melted, whisk in the chili sauce until well combined.

# Handy Tips:
01 -
You can make your meatballs as big or as small as you like. I typically go for meatballs that are about 1 inch in diameter.
02 -
I typically make these meatballs with 90% lean ground beef, as it is flavorful but not overly greasy.
