Spicy Marmalade Meatballs

I maade this at The Olde Store, The customers loved it.

 

Meatballs:

2 lb. ground beef, chuck, 85% lean

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1-1/2 tsp. Worcestershire© sauce

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 small onion, minced

1/2 tsp. chili powder

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

3 eggs

Sauce:

2 cups catsup

1/4 cup Worcestershire© sauce

1 jar (10-12 oz.) orange marmalade ( Or a can of cranberry sauce , the Jellied )

dash cayenne, or to taste

1 tsp. chili powder ( or you can add a can of chili )

 

    Heat oven to 325ºF .  Combine sauce ingredients in a crockpot; cover and cook on High while preparing meatballs.  Combine meatball ingredients.  Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add meatballs; brown on all sides.  (Might have to do this in batches.)  Place browned meatballs in oven and bake 45 minutes (if skillet isn't ovenproof, transfer to a baking dish).  Transfer meatballs to crockpot with a slotted spoon or drain on brown paper first.  Cover and reduce to Low 2 - 4 hours.  Serve hot, as an appetizer, or over rice for a main dish.  Meatball recipe makes 24 - 48 meatballs, depending on size.
