The Best Meatballs

1 pkg. Stuffing Mix for Chicken

1-1/4 cups water

2 eggs

12 oz grape jelly

16 oz barbecue sauce

Mix ingredients until blended; shape into 32 (1-1/2-inch) balls. Line 2 cookie sheets with foil; spray with cooking spray. Place 16 meatballs in each prepared pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 16 to 18 min. or until done (160ºF). Bring grape jelly and barbecue sauce to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Combine half the meatballs with sauce.
