MEATBALLS IN A JELLY-KETCHUP SAUCE image

Categories     Beef     Kid-Friendly

Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup of red currant jelly
3/4 cup ketchup
1 small onion, chopped
2.5 pounds ground beef
One 12 ounce can of bread crumbs
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Mix the onion, ground beef, eggs and bread crumbs together in a large bowl with your hands. That's right, with your hands. It's going to be cold and gooey, but fun! Make balls with the dough - size them a little bit larger than golf balls. Plop the ketchup and jelly into a large pan (big enough to fit all of the meatballs*) and heat on the stove on medium-high. Stir until the jelly melts and mixes with the ketchup. Add the meatballs to the pan in one layer. Allow the sauce to boil and the bottom of the meatballs to brown. Rotate the meatballs with tongs every minute or two until all sides are browned and the meat is cooked thoroughly. Remove from pan and serve! ** If you don't have a gigantic pan, just divide the dough and the ketchup/jelly ingredients to fit your size of pan. Doing this in three batches works well as you can do 1/4 cup ketchup, 1/3 cup jelly for each batch.
