| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prep the Meat Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean hamburger, garlic powder, salt, eggs, and enough bread crumbs to hold the meat together. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. |
| 2 | Prepare the Sauce: In a crockpot, mix together the chili sauce, chopped onion, dry mustard, white pepper, and about 3/4 of the jar of grape jelly. Stir until well combined. |
| 3 | Form the Meatballs: Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them directly into the crockpot with the sauce. Ensure the meatballs are evenly spaced and submerged in the sauce. |
| 4 | Cooking: Set the crockpot to high heat and cook the meatballs for approximately 6 hours, or until they are fully cooked through. The meatballs will release their juices and create a delicious sauce as they cook. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. |
| 5 | Serve: Once the meatballs are cooked through and tender, they are ready to serve. You can keep them warm in the crockpot until you’re ready to enjoy them. Serve hot as a main dish or appetizer, and watch as they disappear before your eyes! |
