MEATBALLS
-
Pre-heat oven to 350°F.

-
In a medium bowl, combine the milk, breadcrumbs, garlic, and onion.

Add milk mixture to the meat mixture being careful not to overwork ingredients.
-
Form into desired size meatballs, greasing hands before starting to keep the meat from sticking, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Place in preheated oven and roast until the outsides are browned and they read 165°F on a meat thermometer (about 25 minutes).

Place the cooked meatballs, grape jelly, and chili sauce in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 3 hours. Serve warm.
