Steps:
- Pre heat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 2 sheet pans with vegetable oil spray.
- Mix together the beef and pork in a large bowl, turning a few times so as not to over mix.
- Using a large fork or your hands, add bread and beaten eggs to meat and mix with about 6 or 7 turns. Add all remaining ingredients and gently incorporate into meat. Do not over mix or meatballs will be tough.
- Make one inch meatballs (a 1-inch scoop helps ) and place on sprayed sheet pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
- While meatballs are cooking, pour both jars of Ragu Old World Style Marinara into a large saucepan and heat over medium heat. When the meatballs are cooked, add to the Ragu sauce. Serve hot and provide small skewers on the side to pick up the meatballs. Reserve some of the sauce and place in a bowl for dipping the meatballs.

SWEET MEATBALL APPETIZER
These meatballs are everybody's favorite and I can't go more than a few weeks without someone requesting them. They are very versatile as they can be made with almost any kind of ground meat or poultry. One warning though; if you do not like sweet foods this is not the recipe for you. In fact if you plan on doubling this recipe I recommend that you decrease the amount of jelly somewhat. Also you can increase the amount of breadcrumbs by a few tablespoons it it seems that it's not holding together but don't overdo it or your meatballs will become hard.

Steps:
- Combine ingredients for meat mixture and seperately in a large covered saucepan or pot bring all the sauce ingredients to a simmer. When nice and hot start forming small meatballs (they will expand somewhat) and drop gently into the sauce. Lower heat and cook for 2 hours. Serve over rice with a little sauce.
