Happy Happy Monday everybody!!! and a big welcome back to school for everyone around me. As I said last week, in my humble little opinion I think it is way too stinking early for everyone to be going back already, but what are you gonna do? Anyways, since everyone is getting back into the full school/work swing, I assume that a super darn easy recipe is in order for everyone because time is a very important commodity.
Not too long ago, I was at a birthday party and the lovely hostess was serving these meatballs. Now, I’m not normally a giant meatball fan, I’m not saying I dislike them or anything, they’re just not a normal go-to cheat day delight, because #doughnuts and #pizza. Well, these meatballs are a different story, and I’m sure it has something to do with the fact that these have that sweet & salty thing going on. When I started raving to the hostess about how much I just loooved these meatballs, she started laughing and said that these were hands down one of the simplest recipes ever and would be happy to give it to me.
Apparently, this is one of those dishes that has been bouncing around for forever and somehow I have managed to miss it. Well, I must say that I’m super stoked that this recipe has finally found it’s way to me, because these are so freaking good y’all. The sheer lack of ingredients had me checking to make sure I hadn’t missed anything, but these have just 3 darn ingredients and that is it, doesn’t get much better than that y’all. Anyways, I hope y’all get to enjoy these bad boys soon and good luck to everyone headed back to school this week. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by!!!

I find frozen meatballs to be extremely high in sodium and extremely lacking in flavor (good flavor that is). Did you use a specific ‘go-to’ brand?
I like the spin on the sauce, using jelly… who’da thunk it?!
These would be great for a football gathering, as fall (unfortunately) is literally, around the corner!
Thanks, as always, for the wonderful blog and easy to follow recipes!

Oh I’m sure they are very high in sodium haha, but obviously I’m not paying attention to that on my cheat day. I believe I ended up using Publix’s brand and only because they were the only ones that were totally cooked and didn’t have any kind of weird sauce or seasonings already on them. The jelly is super good, and exactly my thoughts, who would have thought? I think perfect for football season, and fortunately (haha) around the corner. You’re so welcome and thank you so much for stopping by!
