These sweet and tangy bites will tide over everyone until dinner. At the buffet, set out some fun toothpicks to make for easy nibbling.

Ingredients :
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 package miniature hot dogs, drained
  • 1 jar apricot preserves
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 can pineapple chunks, drained
Directions :
  1. In a large bowl, combine beef and onion, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-inch balls. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook meatballs in 2 batches until cooked through, turning occasionally.
