Meatball Appetizer
In a Hurry? Try This Meatball Recipe
Super easy Meatball Appetizer. This has got to be the one of the easiest finger foods we have listed on this site. You may be wondering why there is grape jelly in the recipe. It serves as a sweet flavor to offset the tangy bbq sauce. The two flavors blend together nicely.
Every time we attend a football party or potluck dinner at church there is always a warm pot of barbeque meatballs. They are a wonderful addition to any party and they don’t last long.
We used to provide toothpicks for eating this meatball finger food with but they slide off too easy and make a big mess. So, we have a slotted spoon available for scooping them out onto a small plate. Then our guests can eat them with a fork.
Unless of course, you're my brother, who eats them with his fingers and then wipes his hands on his pants. Why do I invite him to my parties?
They should be kept warm in a self heating container like a crock pot. You could make your own meatballs but buying a bag of frozen pre-made meatballs keeps this recipe easy to make.
