Because of Connie
This dish is SOOOO easy to make and ALWAYS a crowd pleaser!
You can use store bought meatballs.
I don't, only because we could never get meatballs in some of the places we lived.
So I'd just make them, and now I can buy them easily I don't. I've been making them for so longer I just do :)
Years ago we spent Christmas with a very special family.
The whole time was wonderful! It was a real family time christmas :)
On Christmas Eve, we went out to ours friends parents home for their annual party
This is where I first tasted these meatballs.
Well We were hooked!
To me this was another one of the wonderful Connie's masterpieces.
Have they ever tasted as good as Connie's? NO!!!!!!
Not even when I could get the right ingredients!
I decided there and then when I grew up, I wanted to be just like Connie!
What you'll need
ground beef ~ around 2lbs/1kg
oregano ~ 1 teaspoon
chili powder ~ 1/2 teaspoon
salt ~ 1/2 teaspoon
black pepper ~ 1/2 teaspoon
smoked paprika ~ 1 teaspoon
dried onion flakes ~ 1 tablespoon - optional
apple cider vinegar ~ 1 teaspoon
Bottle of classic BBQ sauce ~ 1 bottle
mixed fruit Jam ~ 1 jar
In a bowl add all the ingredients and mix well
cover and leave in the fridge for at least 1 hour. The longer the better!
Roll take a small amount and roll into balls and place on a baking tray

The onion flakes I add for a little extra but if you don't have them no problem
The The Jam I had in the house had seeds in so I sieved the jam to remove the seeds
