We have served these Easy Cocktail Meatballs at every party and holiday gathering since Lindsay was little. Tender, juicy meatballs simmered in a quick two ingredient sauce. Every time I bring them to a holiday party they are gone immediately and I always get requests for the recipe. There are four options for sauce, and they all have a sweet and sour type flavor with two ingredients.
