Add the cracker crumbs, mustard, egg and dehydrated onions to the bowl.Put the ground beef substitute (or beef) in a medium-sized bowl and add the salt.Mini Manchego Cheesecakes with Apple Onion Jam Gorgonzola, Walnut, and Pear Jam Flatbreadīaked Brie with Caramelized Onions and Candied Walnuts You still need to fry up the meatballs as that helps them keep their shape.īut simply put them in a crockpot on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours depending how much time you have. Since it’s for a party this question I know will be asked.Ĭan you make these meatballs in a crockpot? The original recipe I had for the grape jelly sauce used dry mustard powder but I find dijon works better. Which is why there is mustard in both the sauce and the meatballs. Because I want the flavors in the meatballs to compliment the sauce. The problem I find is so many of the premade meatballs are Italian themed.Īnd have things like parmesan cheese and Italian spices in them. Plus there is just something fun about mini food at a party. If using regular ground beef then no, but if using meat substitute, I would. Otherwise if they are going to simmer for a while the bigger ones start to fall apart. I chose to go mini because it I find that when using a meat substitute for meatballs the smaller you go the better. I tried making this last year using the vegan hot dogs.įor some reason I decided to do meatballs this time. Over the years more and more people switched from using hot dogs to using meatballs.īut you are using store bought jelly and sauce so really…hot dogs work too. To which I was told it was a jar of Heinz chili sauce, a jar of grape jelly, and a TBSP of dry mustard powder.Īnd of course cut up hot dogs. When we left, I made my mom get the recipe.

When the party started I dove into the crockpot to see what grape jelly and hot dogs tasted like.Īnd I mean my weight now…not back then. I saw them dump grape jelly but I didn’t see the other stuff they put in there. I was still in elementary school so this was quite a while ago.Ĭuriously I watched as they dumped cut up hotdogs in the crockpot. My parents had dragged me to it because it was out of town and my mom was helping out with the food. The first time I ever had the grape jelly and Heinz chili sauce combo I was at a wedding anniversary party. So many people asked for the recipe and so I’m putting it on the blog.
