Ingredients

2 pounds lean ground beef
1 (6 ounce) package STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Chicken
1 cup water
2 eggs eggs
1 (12 ounce) jar grape jelly
1 (12 ounce) bottle chili sauce

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets (approximately 15x10 inches) with foil or spray them with cooking spray.
In a bowl, mix ground beef, stuffing mix, water, and eggs until well combined. Roll the mixture into about 50 meatballs (around 1 ½ inches each). Place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball reaches 160°F (70°C).
While the meatballs bake, combine the grape jelly and chili sauce in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, add the meatballs and stir gently to coat them evenly with the sauce.
