Description
Sweet, tangy, and incredibly easy to make, these grape jelly crockpot meatballs are perfect for parties, potlucks, or quick weeknight dinners. Made with just three ingredients, they offer a delicious balance of flavors with minimal effort.
Ingredients
32 oz frozen fully cooked meatballs
18 oz grape jelly
12 oz chili sauce
Instructions
- Add the grape jelly and chili sauce to the crockpot. Stir until well combined.
- Add the frozen meatballs and stir to coat them evenly in the sauce.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or on low for 4 to 5 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Once the meatballs are heated through and the sauce is glossy and thickened, serve directly from the slow cooker or transfer to a serving dish.
- Serve as an appetizer or over rice or noodles for a meal.
Notes
Add hot sauce or red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
Swap chili sauce with BBQ sauce for a smoky version.
Homemade meatballs can be used if fully cooked beforehand.
Try different jellies like cranberry or apricot for variety.
Serve in slider buns with cheese for a fun party option.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
