Directions:
Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, milk, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce; gently shape into 1-in. balls. Brown meatballs in a large skillet. Remove meatballs from skillet; drain fat. Heat chili sauce and grape jelly in crock pot on high until jelly is melted, stirring occasionally. Add meatballs and stir until coated. Cook on high until sauce is bubbly; then cut heat back to low or warm. I usually put them on about two hours prior to serving. Watch them disappear.

Personal Notes:
These are my family's favorite meatballs - you'll never go back to frozen store-bought ones! We usually double the recipe. If you like more sauce, when you double the recipe, use 3 bottles of chili sauce and the large jar of grape jelly.
