Slow Cooker Grape Jelly Meatballs

bag frozen meatballs (I use homestyle)

grape jelly (I use Welch's)

Heinz chili sauce

Put the frozen meatballs in the slow cooker. Add the grape jelly and chili sauce.

Stir until the meatballs are coated in the grape and chili sauce mixture.

Place the lid on the slow cooker.

Cook on HIGH for 2.5-3 hours or LOW for 4-5 hours. Stirring occasionally so the meatballs won&#x27;t burn on the edges.

Turn the slow cooker to warm. Can be kept warm at a party for 3+ hours. Stir often, and add a splash of water if the sauce thickens too much.

I would like to have the ingredient measurements.

The meatballs were a hit! So easy and super yummy!! Thanks🙂

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! WE LOVE THESE MEATBALLS!

I have a friend in the catering  business  who sells sweet &amp; sour meatballs that my family has BOUGHT  for years.  Now, thanks to you, I can MAKE MY OWN.

I followed the recipe  as written,  but doubled the sauce because  I had 2 pound bag of meatballs.   I took them to a Christmas  party, and they quickly  disappeared. 

THANKS AGAIN,   ?

I use grape jelly and chili sauce. ? It is my family recipe. I love old recipes.

I make these using sweet chili sauce instead of ketchup...they're great! I never thought of adding hot sauce...I'll definitely try that on my next batch.

I have made these using canned cranberry jelly and barbecue sauce and they are equally good.  If you like the grape jelly, I think you would like the cranberry jelly (it's not just for Thanksgiving, hahaha!)

Both sweet and savory, these Crockpot BBQ Grape Jelly Meatballs are always a crowd favorite. They require only 3 ingredients and a couple of minutes of hands on time, then let them cook in the slow cooker until party time.

My hubby has made this for decades, but uses mustard instead of BBQ sauce for a true sweet and sour flavor. Thinking, per your version, to try it using Rudy's spicy BBQ sauce.

I have made this for years.  I have found the best meatball to use is a Swedish Meatballs.  I buy them at BJ's, it is a huge bag so I use two bottles of chili sauce and 2 jars of grape jelly.  I heat it up on the stove and then put it in a crockpot on low for Christmas day so we can eat them all day!  Delicious!

how does it taste if i want to use apricot jam? would you use chili sauce also?

We tried this with chili sauce instead of the ketchup for a bit of a sweet and spicy flavour and it was delicious!  So easy to make too.  Thank you!

These look like the perfect party bite, Thanks for sharing!

Enjoyed these with dinner last night and they do not disappoint! So easy and flavorful; the whole family loved them!

Yummy! These are going to be gone within minutes. My son and husband are going to love this!

I never thought to use grape jelly until now! It was so delicious and a home run with the kids.

We make these using chili  sauce and jellied cranberry sauce. They are delicious.

These are the BEST meatballs!!! I can't wait to make them again for our Super Bowl party!

Those do look quite tempting. Wishing I could grab one of those toothpicks. ;-) Super cool to whip them up with only three ingredients. Crowd pleaser for sure!

I have never heard of jelly with meatballs. This would make great game day food though!

I've never heard of this fantastic appetizer. Seems to be so easy to prepare and yet very attractive on any party buffet.

These look so delicious!  Love that you can do it in the Instant Pot, and the grape jelly addition sounds yummy.
