Party Meatballs are the world’s easiest appetizer and they are so delicious. My friend, Sara, made these for the parties and potlucks we would all go to. My kids would always go nuts for them…who am I kidding…I would go nuts for them too. My family loves meatballs, so much so that one of my kid’s favorite dinners is Slow Cooker Teriyaki Meatballs.
When I asked Sara for the recipe, I couldn’t have been more surprised at the ingredients and how incredibly easy they are to make. Talk about an amazing appetizer–tastes soooo good without all the work of making them by hand.
These are a must for upcoming New Year’s Eve parties or Super Bowl parties–or any party for that matter. You can’t go wrong with these Party Meatballs.

I’ve made these for years with grape jelly and Heinz Chili Sauce. Delicious. Been wanting to try them with Cranberry jelly and chili sauce.
Oh yum! Cranberry Jelly is a great idea!
These are the perfect appetizer! We had them for the superbowl. I am so glad I found your recipe. I can feel really confident making these and the ingredients are stuff I can keep in the pantry and deepfreeze. Thank you!
