Noj’s Sweet and Spicy Meatballs

Here are two new recipes to make up for my loooooong absence from blogging.

1 bottle (16 oz) Heinz 57 spicy sauce
1 jar (20 oz) grape jelly
1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 slice bread, broken into crumbs
1 tsp. salt
Cooking oil


Empty bottle of Heinz sauce and jar of jelly into a large sauce pan. Heat on medium, stirring frequently. Simmer while meat is cooking. Mix meat, bread crumbs and salt in a mixing bowl. Roll into 1 inch balls. Put cooking oil in a large skillet, to coat, and heat to medium. Add meat balls, gently rolling constantly until all sides are cooked. Remove meat balls with a slotted spoon and add to simmering sauce. Simmer for 15 more minutes.


Banana’s Notes:
We had this dish as the main part of dinner one night. The next day for lunch, I heated the left-overs with cooked spaghetti noodles. Both are exciting and unique flavors. This is one of Noj’s old family recipes. He remembers his dad making it when he was a boy.
