Maple Meatballs
These maple meatballs are a quick and easy dish that combines cooked meatballs with a flavorful sweet and tangy sauce made from maple syrup, chili sauce, and a few other simple ingredients. The sauce is whisked together in a saucepan, brought to a simmer, and then meatballs are added to heat through and get coated in the delicious glaze. They make a perfect appetizer or a simple main course served over rice.
