Sweet and Sour Meatballs V

I have been making these for years. This is the first recipe I tried where the meatballs actually stayed together. Serve over spaghetti. Wonderful!!!!

Original recipe makes 6 to 8 servings

1 cup milk
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 pounds ground beef
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
2 (12 ounce) bottles chile sauce
1 cup grape jelly
1/2 cup water

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the milk and bread crumbs. Add ground beef, onion, egg, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and form into 1 inch balls.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine chili sauce, grape jelly and water; bring to a simmer. Gently drop the meatballs into the chili sauce mixture and simmer for about 1 hour. Occasionally skim off excess fat, as necessary.
  3. Stir in sour cream just before serving. Remove from heat before sour cream comes to a boil.
