1cupBBQ sauce
1(26-ounce) bagfrozen beef meatballs

Notes
The Sauce - There are so many variations on this recipe! The most popular one uses Heinz chili sauce instead of the BBQ sauce - both variations are good!The grape jelly can also be swapped out for other fruit preserves such as apricot, raspberry, strawberry, orange marmalade, or cranberry sauce.Meatballs - Some stores carry frozen meatballs in slightly bigger or smaller bags that the 26-ounce one called for in this recipe. Using a slightly different size is perfectly fine here! If it's more than a few ounces bigger, I would increase the sauce amounts slightly.
