Combine two jars of chili sauce, half of the grape jelly, and 10 ounces of crushed pineapples in a pot to heat and mix together.

Add one cup of granulated sugar and 1/3 cup of brown sugar to the mixture.

Cover the pot with a lid and let the meatballs simmer in the sauce.

For the tuna salad, empty four cans of tuna into a bowl and flake apart the chunks.

6

Add 12 boiled eggs, sweet salad cubes, seasoning salt, lemon pepper, celery salt, onion powder, paprika, and about 15 ounces of mayo to the tuna.
