Directions

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1 inch balls.

Place on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake uncovered at 350F for 20 minutes, or until no longer pink. Drain on paper towels. Transfer to a greased 13-in X 9-in X 2-in. baking dish.

In a large saucepan, combine the ketchup, jelly and onion. Cook and stir over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until jelly is melted. Pour over the meatballs. Bake, uncovered, 20 minutes longer or until sauce is bubbly.
