Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 large egg room temperature
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup whole milk room temperature
- ½ cup dry breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped (about ½ cup)
Sauce
- 1¼ cups 12 ounces grape jelly
- 1¼ cups 12 ounces chili sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, Parmesan cheese, parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix together until just combined.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion.
- Add the milk mixture to the meat mixture, being careful not to overwork it.
- Grease your hands to prevent sticking and form the mixture into meatballs of your desired size. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven until the outsides are browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F on a meat thermometer, about 25 minutes.
- Place the cooked meatballs into a slow cooker along with the grape jelly and chili sauce. Stir to coat the meatballs evenly.
- Cook on low for 3 hours. Serve warm.
