Ingredients:

Meatballs:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg

Sauce:

• 1 cup grape jelly
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

To make the meatballs, start by preheating your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, bell pepper, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix together until well combined. Then, using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes.

While the meatballs are cooking, make the sauce by combining the grape jelly, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the jelly has melted and the sauce is well combined.

Once the meatballs are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them in a large skillet. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and stir to coat them evenly. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the meatballs are fully cooked.

Serve the southern meatballs with grape jelly over a bed of rice or with your favorite side dishes. These meatballs are perfect for a potluck or party, and they can even be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve.
