Holiday Appetizer: Meatballs

I am a huge fan of holiday parties that include a couple of warm appetizers.  Chips and dips, crackers and cheese, and other munchies are great...but a warm appetizer adds such a delcious touch!  One of my easy and "go-to" warm appetizer ideas is meatballs!  They are yummy, easy, and always get eaten up!  So, I am going to share a couple of great appetizer meatball recipes with you and please pass along one of yours, if you have one.  Happy Holidays!

Sweet and Tangy Meatballs
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
3/4 cup Vinegar
3/4 cup BBQ Sauce
3 tsp. Dijon Mustard
3 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1 Bag Frozen Meatballs (usually around 2 lbs.)

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350. Combine all ingredients, except meatballs in a saucepan to heat up and dissolve sugar. Meanwhile, place meatballs in a 13x9 inch baking dish. When sugar is dissolved, pour heated sauce over the meatballs and cover the baking dish with foil. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until heated through. Serve right away, or put it in your crock pot on low until the party starts!
