This Week's Fancy Pants Meal: Meatballs Niezgocki
I has this at a Christmas LGBT Potluck last year, and it was FANTASTIC to the point I had to seek out who made it and grab the recipe. Turns out, it's SUPER simple with one exception: You need a crock pot.
I don't have one, and seeing as this was the first time I needed one, I don't really need to get one. But I did need to find a substitute. After finding a site that told you how to "convert" crock pot instructions to dutch oven instructions, I ended up burning the heck out of them last week.
This week, though, I just followed the crock pot instructions instead of the conversion, and they came out GREAT. They're a bit of a carb-bomb, though, so be careful. :)

I do this with lil smokies sausages.
@dolari Pretty much dessert, for sure. But it sounds delicious, in small doses. I'd be inclined to try subbing apricot jam for the grape jelly.
