    Going to post the BEST meatball sauce recipe ever - it's not the meatballs, make them however you like, but the sauce.

    Meatballs -
    500g mince
    1 cup breadcrumbs
    1 egg
    1 onion, diced
    parsley, salt & pepper, a teaspoon of curry powder

    Mix, roll, bake at 180 for 30 minutes. Stir / roll them, pour sauce over & back in the oven for another 15 - 20 minutes.

    Sauce -
    1/2 cup water
    1/2 cup tomato sauce
    3 tablespoons of fruit chutney
    3 tablespoons vinegar
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce

    Mix all ingredients in saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Pour over meatballs as above.

    When cooked, use sauce as a dipping sauce.

    * amounts are approximate - I have made this so many times I can't remember what the original amounts are but it's something like this (this is how we like it). You could tweak them to taste.

    Artechim - would you mind posting your dipping sauce?

    Thanks guys for all the ideas, as they are a "finger food" I really need something not too messy!

    I meant using just the cooking method from Swedish meatballs ( though the sauce is pretty good lol)

    I usually just bake them in a casserole dish with an onion gravy to cover them and foil over the dish. And I ALWAYS have mash spud to serve, DH loves mash
