One of my all time favorite recipes, and now I am happy to share it with you! You will love how simple this recipe is and versitile too. You can make this with any type of meatballs and it will turn out great. It is a wonderful dish to bring along for a potluck as well. Even though we use a whole jar of the jelly, the sugar content is not that high because you are coating your meatballs. I don’t use the sauce I keep that in the crock pot and scoop out my meatballs on to a plate, and serve with the squash. You will love how easy the squash is to make! No more messing with cutting up a whole squash and cooking it for over an hour. The chunks of squash from Trader Joe’s is one of their greatest new additions. This comfort food is sure to be a winner. Be sure to keep sending me your pictures.
