Description

This Crock Pot Meatballs recipe features tender frozen meatballs simmered in a sweet and tangy grape jelly chili sauce. Perfect for parties and gatherings, these meatballs are easy to prepare with just three ingredients, slow-cooked to perfection for a warm, flavorful appetizer or main dish.


Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 28 ounces Frozen homestyle meatballs

Sauce

  • 20 ounces Grape jelly
  • 12 ounces Heinz chili sauce


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen meatballs, grape jelly, and chili sauce to the slow cooker. Stir everything together gently to ensure the meatballs are fully coated with the sauce.
  2. Cook: Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 4-5 hours, or alternatively use high heat and cook for 2-3 hours depending on your schedule. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes to keep the meatballs well-coated and prevent sticking.
  3. Serve: Serve the meatballs directly from the slow cooker to keep them warm throughout your event, making them an ideal party appetizer or entree.

Notes

  • Use homestyle frozen meatballs for the best texture and flavor.
  • Stirring every 30 minutes helps the meatballs absorb the sauce and cook evenly.
  • This dish can be kept warm in the slow cooker for several hours without drying out.
  • For a spicier variation, add a few dashes of hot sauce or some crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
