Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs.

Using your hands, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.

Roll the mixture into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the rolled meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F.

While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the grape jelly and chili sauce.

Heat the sauce mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the grape jelly is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and well combined. Bring it to a gentle simmer.

Once the meatballs are baked, carefully add them to the simmering sauce in the saucepan.

Stir gently to coat the meatballs evenly with the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the meatballs to absorb some of the sauce.

Serve the baby shower meatballs warm, either as an appetizer with toothpicks or as part of a main meal.
