Mom's Meatballs

This recipe is one of our family favorites!

SUPER simple and quick, throw it in the crock pot and serve over rice later that night!

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE crock pots hehe

So you start with about a pound or so of lean hamburger

Mash it up!

Then you will add about 8 crackers all crumbled up

- - - - -

The recipe says saltines, but I use whatever buttery cracker I have on hand and it works great!

I so love a recipe with flexibility!

You can use one small chopped onion, or if your family is like mine and not SUPER into onions, use the minced dried kind just for flavor

Add crackers, onion and 2 eggs to your mashed hamburger

This tool I use is called the mix n chop

It is from Pampered Chef and if you don't have one,

TRUST me you are missing out on a GREAT thing

In your crock pot, mix jelly, chili sauce, juice of a lemon or about 3 tbs lemon juice and several dashes of salt and pepper!

- - - - -

I use a small whisk to combine these thoroughly

Then I use a cookie scoop/melon baller to make the perfect round meatballs without touching yucky raw meat

- - - -

EEEEWWW

- - - - -

Again, mine is Pampered Chef (just fyi) if you want to know where a good one is!

Then just plop them into your sauce!

Fill the entire crock pot

Turn it on low for about 5-6 hours!

Serve over rice and with your favorite veggies!

YUMMY

Let me know what ya think! ;)
