Grape Jelly Meatballs


I was looking online the other day for a recipe of some BBQ glazed meatballs, and instead came across this recipe, had all the ingredients at home, so I figured why not?? Sounded pretty interesting. The recipe and cooking procedures are super easy to follow. I added bacon around my meatballs and stuck toothpicks in them to make it easier to handle. The flavours do not really have a lot of depth to it, and could use some touching up. I think I would add a little italian dressing inside the meatball, and perhaps add more of a sweetness to the sauce, a friend of mine recommended a similar recipe with pineapple, I think that would be a nice touch. Still over all can't beat the quick and easy recipes and this is a great recipe for any man days, such as super-bowl where meat and bacon would never be turned down.
