Grape Jelly Meatballs

Meatballs

2 lb. ground beef
3 c. white bread crumb
1 pkg. dry onion soup
1 egg slightly beaten
1 tsp. dried parsley flakes

Mix all ingredients. Shape into balls and arrange in baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes. Turn meatballs every 20 minutes or so with tongs.

Grape Jelly Sauce

1/2 jar Chili Sauce
1 med. jar grape jelly

Heat jelly in microwave for about 1 minute or until it can be stirred. Add 1/2 jar of Chili Sauce and mix well.

Put meatballs in crockpot. Pour Jelly sauce over meatballs and cook on low in crock pot for a minimum of 2 hours before serving. What I do is make these the day before and mix the ingredients hot in a large bowl and then put in fridge. The next day I will take the bowl out and put it in the microwave to heat it up a little bit and then put in in a crock pot or electric roaster to warm up (usually about 3-4 hours) stirring occassionally.

If you aren't into making meatballs or want to use vegan balls Armour brand does make an excellent meatball that you can find in your grocers refrigerator section. All I do if I am pressed for time is heat those up in the microwave and then add the rest of the stuff and cook it it all in the crock pot for a couple of hours.

Hawaiian Meatballs

All of the same stuff above, but use Apricot Jelly and add a small can of chunked pineapple juice and all - those are good too!!!

Sounds good to me... and I am part German. ;) :p

Smoked Almond Spread

2 packages of cream cheese (I use neufatchel, the lower fat kind)
1 small can of smoked almonds
1 package of ranch dressing mix ( this can be left out and it is still fabulous)

Crunch nuts in the food processor, add cheese and mix. The smokey flavor in the nuts makes you think you are eating bacon ;)

That ^^ sounds good!!! All of these sound good!!! Lil - I like the lower fat additions! Can the almonds be chopped fine? I have people who love those, but aren't able to eat them because of dentures.

And..........thank you for the broccoli salad! I had that recipe a long time ago but lost it! I knew it had vinegar and sugar but couldn't locate the recipe anywhere!!!

Another version of colored "stuff"

Orange Stuff
1 small can mandarin oranges (drained)
1 small can pineapple wedges or crushed (drained)
1 large container of low-fat cool whip
1 large container of low-fat cottage cheese
1 large box of sugar free orange jello (just the powder, not mixed with water)


Mix and serve. It's quite nummy, and actually mediocre healthy.

My dad has substituted the oranges for cherries, and cherry jello too - turning it into pink stuff, which is also good.

thanks for the meatball recipes...i couldn't figure on an amount of grape jelly and i was thinkin' it would get mixed with gravy but that didn't sound quite right. chili-sauce! that sounds more like it...this thread makes my mouth water almost as much as the pictures of nekkid people. :D

Thanks (((((((((Lilith & Chey))))))))))

Omigosh....I think I've gained 5 lbs just reading this thread!!!! All the recipes sound wonderful.

This is the easiest fudge recipe!!!!!! And the fudge is excellent!

I can milk chocolate cake frosting - no pudding in the mix
1 bag 16 oz milk chocolate chips
any kind of chopped nuts you want. 3/4 cup

Melt chocolate chips in the microwave (2 min stirring every 30 seconds)
Immediately add the whole can of frosting and stir well
fold in chopped nuts.

Pour into a 8x8 buttered foil pan and put a sheet of wax paper on the top smoothing with your fingers. Put in refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours. Pop the fudge block out of the foil pan and cut into 1 inch pieces (should make 64 pieces).

Variations -

Oreo Cookie Fudge
Use white chocolate chips and french vanilla frosting and 1 cup crushed oreo cookies.

Peppermint Fudge
White chocolate chips white frosting 5 drops peppermint extract and crushed up pepermints (red & green) 1/3 cup

Rocky Road Fudge
Semi sweet chocolate chips, chocolate fudge frosting, 2/3 cup mini marshmallows, chopped peanuts (2/3 cups) 1/3 cup cut up soft caramels.

This is really only limited by your imagination and ability to experiment!

And the fudge is soooooooooo good! You wouldn't know that it was made with cake frosting!

I've got a recipe here for one of the most mouth watering, tenderest, briskets you'll ever cook. It's always got me a lot of compliments at parties.

1 pkg. of lipton beefy onion soup mix

Pour over meat and marinate over nite (fat side up)
Cover in foil and cook in marinade sauce

enjoy! :)

LOL!!! Remember to cut into small pieces!!! I am going to try and make peanut butter fudge next.

I love brisket but was never very successful with it - too dry & tough. Sounds like the addition of the soy sauce will make it more tender... :D May have to give it a go for New Years!
