Loved this recipe. You’ve can also use it with chili sauce and he grape jelly! Thanks for all your wonderful recipes! Lori
I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂 Thank you for your comment
I would like to make my own meatballs - what would the time difference be?
These are great. Instead of BBQ sauce, I used chile sauce. It looks like ketchup but more flavorful. It's sold in the ketchup section.
Sounds like a great option for replacement 🙂
I agree with the chile sauce, and also recommend currant jelly, if you can find it. More of a 'grown-up' taste, but kids still like it. (At least those in my extended family)
