What's for dinner?

A couple days ago I tried a new recipe using grape jelly, chili sauce, and meatballs. This recipe has been around for a long time but its new to me! Well, It went great and so I have decided to try it again tonight and change it just a bit to make it more of a meal. Here's what I'm gonna do:

8oz grape jelly
12oz chili sauce
Hawaiian bread (you can find it in the bakery section usually or just use hot dog buns)
shredded mozzarella cheese
Meatballs! (I use Armour original meatballs, a small bag)

Take the grape jelly and heat it in a pot on low. stir occasionally. While that heats, set the oven to 350 and put all the meatballs on a cookie sheet in a single layer. cook for about 15 minutes.

Once the jelly is a little more liquidy, pour in the chili sauce and stir together, continuing to heat on low.

When the meatballs are done, take them out and pour them into the sauce. Go ahead and turn the heat off.

Take the hawaiian bread (or whatever you're using) and open it up, sprinkle a little shredded mozzarella cheese in and place a few sauce covered meatballs.
Voila! You have a delicious meatball sandwich thats a little sweet, and a little saucy. If you want something with more of a kick, you can put in crushed red pepper flakes, hot sauce, or cayenne pepper.

My kids LOVE these things and I doubt we will have any leftovers. These are also great by themselves as an appetizer for parties.
Enjoy!
