Directions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Gently blend beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, onion, garlic, salt and pepper until evenly combined.
Form into about 40 bite-sized meatballs.
Place meatballs on a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet; bake for 20 minutes or until cooked all the way through.
Combine chili sauce and jelly in a saucepan set over medium heat.
Cook, stirring, until jelly dissolves, about 5 minutes.
Add cooked meatballs to the sauce; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
