Of all the recipes I have made, this barbequed meatball recipe is hands down the easiest one. It takes three ingredients, and you will have a mouth-watering dish in no time.
My mother used to do this for company parties, football games, and holidays. Since then, it has been a fan favorite for my family.
Usually, this recipe calls for grape jelly, but my mom had a thing for marmalade. If you have used grape jelly, you will fall in love with this twist on a classic.
