  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Daddy Hinkle’s seasoning
  • 2 pounds Peach Crest Farms ground beef

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 jar Suan’s scotch bonnett tomato jam
  • 1/2 cup Garden Club grape jelly

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine eggs, breadcrumbs, garlic and Daddy Hinkle’s. Add ground beef, mixing until ingredients are combined. Shape into 1- to 2-inch balls. Place on a cooking rack in a baking pan. (This keeps the meatballs from getting soggy and helps them brown.) Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. In a large bowl, combine tomato sauce, chicken broth, tomato jam, grape jelly, brown sugar and vinegar. Transfer the meatballs to a slow cooker. Pour sauce on top. Cook on low 3 hours or until meatballs are cooked through and flavors have combined. Add the pineapple, peppers and onion and cook for an additional hour.
